ok cheer's do you have any idea's to why my hardive isn't working is it common for them to just play up like that, the only other thing i can point it too is i used to have xp pro now i'v just got xp home as my copy stopped working of pro, also any way of changing the drive to slave, it's a sata drive and it was used as a slave drive before i just have no idea why it was working properly before and now it's just stopped .
