This may belong in PC troubleshooting support. I had XP Pro on this hard drive. It became corrupted. Using the Western Digital tools I first used their DataLifeguard tool to format and place a partition on the hard drive. I have put all 0000’s on the hard drive. Their diagnostic disk says the Hard Drive is good. It works in other computers. But when I try to put XP Pro clean install back on the disk I get the message that it cannot find a hard drive. I believe this may be a mbr problem but really have no idea what is causing this to happen. I have set the bios to the following boot order:
1. floppy disk
2. cd drive
3. hard drive
This computer has 512mb of RAM
gigahz 1.5gig
the hard drive is a 200 gig hd
set to hd 0 in the bios.
