which driver update are u talking bout... it works fine wid a win98 (10gb)..

and earlier it was fine wid 40gb(xp)...the problem is only coming now..its a new hard disk..i have tried other 40gb hard disks as well..
 
The fact that Win98 works, doesn't mean much - 98 is a simplistic OS that requires much less from your hardware.

Test your RAM. Please.

A BIOS update may fix any issues with the IDE controller.. Replace the IDE cable.. Try the secondary IDE controller..
