I have a samsung SV0411N ATA IDE hard disk, just enough to meet my memory needs.
the problem is it doesn't get detected, there is no mention of the device in MY Computer. I tried to install XP on it, but set up displayed a message saying it could not read the drive.
I used Vista disk management, from another HDD and in disk management, the disk finally showed up. but as soon as i start disk management, it asks me to innitialize the disk, i click OK, it returns data error (CRC).
and then in the disk management window the disk shows up as a 37 GB unallocated space.
when i try to create a new simple volume, it says "operation cannot be completed because the disk is not innitialized"
Chkdsk dosen't read the drives, the samsung doesn't even have a drive name yet.
