Re: Help! Hard drive problem after XP Pro install

Thanks for your reply. I can't get the PC to start Win XP with the
drive connected, it just sits there at the WinXP start-up screen.
Luckily I do have a backup, but from a couple of months ago, so all
isn't lost. I was hoping someone could suggest what the problem with
the drive might be i.e why does it shows as being an 8Gb drive not the
120 it should be? I've run auto detect in the BIOS many times and it
remains at 8Gb.
