-Disk Manager: Are you talking about the Disk Management tools within
Windows?

-Boot.ini Contents:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition" /fastdetect

-PS Voltages:
12V: 11.85V
5V: 5.13V
3.3V: 3.39V

Anything else?

What you have already done is listed not for you. What you have
already done was listed so that all others will learn from this

listed are other tasks you do not say were done (ie Disk Manager and
Boot.ini contents). Listed was a voltage measurements on yellow and
red wire - whether you did it or not - because it identifies another
reason for this type of failure.

Above is a checklist of what should have been done now that disk
drive passes WD diagnostics. In some cases, tasks from that
'checklist' may need be repeated.
