hi everyone, i've got a new 500gb hard drive to replace my exisiting 20gb hd. computer is about 8 years old i think. (well old seagate HD says "032005" on the warrenty sticker so i guess that's showing the age?)
I've physically installed it, checked bios, all fine, inserted windows xp disk, it's gone through to formating & done that (all as 1 partitian & took about 2 or 3 hours).
but then next step
disk in cd drive 1
verifying DMI pool data.....
boot from atapi cd-rom: failure...
boot from atapi cd_rom
press any key to boot from cd........
a disk read error occured
press ctrl+alt+del to restart
disk in cd drive 2
verifying DMI pool data.....
boot from atapi cd_rom
press any key to boot from cd........
a disk read error occured
press ctrl+alt+del to restart
disk in laptop, laptop's on vista so limiting what i can do, but certainly showing up & giving me the option to run it, no sign of a disk problem & i've used this disk before & haven't had a problem with it
the slave drive i have is 250gb & that's never been a problem. any ideas what the problem is or how to troubleshoot or fix it?
computer is a P4 1.6gh with 512 ram & disk i'm installing is XP
