western digital 80g hard drive when i start my pc i now
get a message on xp saying new hard drive found the my pc
restarts

been into the bios and everything sees ok.
it just seems to be xp that does not like the new hard
drive
 
Have you formatted the drive with the software provided by the manufacturer? There are some things you need to do to a new hard drive before Windows will recongize it.
 
What ide channel is it on? primary or secondary?

And what else is on the same ide as this hdd?

And whats the jumper on? Master? Slave?
if its on the same ide as another hdd?

And is it on auto in the bios?
