Im having problems with my new 74GB western digital Raptor SATA hard drive.
When i go to install XP it finishes installation then reboots like normal. When it goes to load XP a black screen comes up and it just stays there "hangs" and doesnt go to desktop.
Ive tried to install XP on another drive, a 160GB seagate barracuda SATA and it works fine on there, loads to desktop all is normal e.t.c Just this raptor doesnt do the same.
I really would like this sorting out, its giving me a big migraine. Would really really appreciate a solution to this.
Thanks alot.
