Well I cannot even install xp now, it tries to reboot after copying files, does a long beep and restarts, and cycles...its set as master but to no avail it just wont boot up, and booting up off the disk just recopys the files and gives me the same problem...im guessing because the bios picks it up as 500gb but xp doesnt =/
Fixed it, thanks for advice drive is working like a dream now.
