Re: HardDrive help req. please

I was just going to install 2000 on there.:-(
i don't want to delete the ext. paritition as that has
all the stuff i want to keep.

It soundslike it is spinning up cause the bios recognises it.
I even got as far as formating once but i had to hold it in
my hand :-(
it then stopped again around 89% or so and then i moved a
little and it started again :-(
