Seagate Barracuda® 7200.11 Hard Drive 500MB
I can't find tools that will check the harddrive.

I multi post because that other group was a joke. I even stated on that NG that I'm moving to another NG since the response by zuoer was not take serious. So I will stay on this NG for now.

I read your "Detail" response. Most don't apply but I will download the Mfg software to test the harddrive. Although I'm sure there is nothing wrong with it. I don't understand what your talking about when you said I've tried 3-different operating systems. That's not what I said. I said we've tried the upgrade twice and then tried a clean install. On each of the same failure, we was able to restore to Windows XP Pro from a stored Image.

All components are less than 3 months old. We built the computer ourselves with good quality components. Been running Windows XP Pro flawlessly sense then. I do wonder if it has anything to do with SATA method of communication with the HD instead of IDE but that's a stretch. I have not checked the BIOS for any clues either.
