has anyone come across and issue with XP and harddrives. I have had about 10 machines that had to get new drives after i installed xp on them.... I am not sure if this is a known issue but i never had a problem with the machines harddrives till i decided to turn them into xp clients. I have researched microsofts site and have not found a good solution. Can anyone assist me on this issue and show me facts or documents?

they fail. I mean the drives on the machines are fine and after i perform a full install with xp they fail. I get boot sector errors and some done even boot up. I have never seen this issue where the drives fail a little after putting xp on them.Thedrives all range in sizes and manufacturer so i dont think it would be the harddrives...
