So this is the break down of my problem. Saturday morning I got a blue screen of death, I tried to reboot and Windows got hung on the XP logo repeatedly. It wouldn't boot in safe mode or Last Known Good. So then I tried to repair Windows with the disk with no luck. I decided to reinstall Windows onto the drive. This didn't fix anything, my system still got hung on the XP logo, safe mode, Last Known Good etc. I thought it might be the drive having some corrupted sectors, so I went out to the store and bought a new WD 500GB SATA drive. Knowing XP nor my Mobo supports SATA from the factory I have the controller drivers on my floppy. But here's my current problem. I installed the drive and Windows won't recognize the drive with or without the drivers being loaded. I've done some research and haven't found a good solution for me. One site said to put a jumper between pin 5 and 6 to run the drive as SATA I. This hasn't worked either. Any help is much appreciated. I'd like to see if anyone has any ideas before I exchange this drive today.
On a side note. I had a SATA drive in it before, loading the driver worked when I installed that a long time ago.
