Have tried NTFS, FAT32 file systems, systems boots to: Stop: c000221 unknown hard error \systemroot\system32\ntdll.dll.
Downloaded latest Bios and reflashed, no help.
Used a spare WD ATA33 6 Gig drive and Windows XP Pro loaded fine, no problem.
Went to Western Digital Website and downloaded tools, checked drive, all ok. Used Datalifeguard program to format and drivecopy from the small drive to the new one. Same problem.
Reformatted and did an install of WIN Me - absolutely no problems at all.
This one is a real head scratcher for me!
