i've just got a new 80gb baracuda seagate drive i've installed winxp Pro on it and it booted up the first time after install but now every time it starts up it freezes on the winxp start up screen, it seems the freeze consides with the keyboard check.
Im loging on now using safe mode with networking, but normal mode just freezes.
I've tried the last working config option and unplugging the keyboard but it makes no diffrence

is the xp yours or did you download it?
Try a clean install and see if that works out

ok then obviously its a hardware issue with the h/d
are you sure you have the pin setup correct on the back of the h/d
eg master slave
are you still running the old drive as well

yo i had the same prob it was frezzin up on the xp bootup screen for 3 months i just lived with it. i tryed everything. then when i took out my slave and changed my master to a different hd and did a reinstal everything worked fine. so i think it might be that your cable's my not be connected properly.
its worth a try
