Hi!

I have this PC:
Asrock k7Upgrade 880
Sempron 2200+
2x256DRAM DDR 400(2 different manufactures)
Seagate 20GB ATA
Radeon 9600PRO

It worked somehow fine, but then I bought new WD SATA HDD 200GB and it was making read errors and than I discovered 120 bad sectors.I packed it and get new one.

I installed wins one time on new and once time on old disk...but usually I had on newer one.Then someday Ive installed wins on new hdd:

Ive booted wins,F6-hdd controllers,format,install,reboot and then it happened.The windows were booting up(that winXP loading screen) and then I got BLUE SCREEN:
0x0000007B , 0xF894D528 , 0x00000034 , 0x00000000 , 0x00000000

I turned off old disk and it didnt work.Then i scanned RAM and it doesnt find any error.Then I tested HDD and no errors too.

Now I use never HDD like secondary drive - storage place

1.)So what can be wrong?Motherboard controller?If it is broken, then older HDD would have errors too?

thx
 
so, to clarify,
you cant get (presumably XP) to reconize the extra 200Gb WD HDD ?

if so just put everything as it was (without the WD 200Gb HDD) then connect the WD HDD to a spare SATA port, and XP won´t see it
then <start> <run> type ¨dskmgmt¨ <enter> (i think, but i could be wrong, cos i hate XP)
then i think you will see a graphical layout of you HDD´s, you can see C: (drive) and you should see your 200Gb drive,
what you need to do is right click it and select format then right click again and assign it a drive letter (D: of E: or whatever is available, XP may then ask you to reboot)
