    Hi!

    I have this PC:
    Asrock k7Upgrade 880
    Sempron 2200+
    2x256DRAM DDR 400(2 different manufactures)
    Seagate 20GB ATA
    Radeon 9600PRO

    It worked somehow fine, but then I bought new WD SATA HDD 200GB and it was making read errors and than I discovered 120 bad sectors.I packed it and get new one.

    I installed wins one time on new and once time on old disk...but usually I had on newer one.Then someday Ive installed wins on new hdd:

    Ive booted wins,F6-hdd controllers,format,install,reboot and then it happened.The windows were booting up(that winXP loading screen) and then I got BLUE SCREEN:
    0x0000007B , 0xF894D528 , 0x00000034 , 0x00000000 , 0x00000000

    I turned off old disk and it didnt work.Then i scanned RAM and it doesnt find any error.Then I tested HDD and no errors too.

    Now I use never HDD like secondary drive - storage place

    1.)So what can be wrong?Motherboard controller?If it is broken, then older HDD would have errors too?

    thx

    Just wondering:

    Have you done any overclocking lately?

    so, to clarify,
    you cant get (presumably XP) to reconize the extra 200Gb WD HDD ?

    if so just put everything as it was (without the WD 200Gb HDD) then connect the WD HDD to a spare SATA port, and XP won´t see it
    then <start> <run> type ¨dskmgmt¨ <enter> (i think, but i could be wrong, cos i hate XP)
    then i think you will see a graphical layout of you HDD´s, you can see C: (drive) and you should see your 200Gb drive,
    what you need to do is right click it and select format then right click again and assign it a drive letter (D: of E: or whatever is available, XP may then ask you to reboot)

    quick question: are you installing from a restore CD, or from an original XP CD

    It might be worth it to load the default BIOS settings.

    What did you use to scan your RAM and hard drive?
