I think this is best answered here because the harddrive is fine it's just the windows xp issue.

I have a 80gb harddrive and installed the ultra ata/100 controller which came with the western digital 160 harddrive i just bought.

After a day or so after installing norton utilities I have been locked out of access from this drive.

I tried doing repair console from win xp cd but on hardrive check instead of going to the dos prompt it has blue screen and reboots.

IT won't even let me format from windows xp CD

after this incident, any new harddrive I install I've been getting error messages in windows about system files being corrupted.

after windows xp cd installs it the files keep getting corrupted. what should I do?

I tried putting this drive as slave to just get acess so I can copy the files but it reboots when windows load up. how can I access this drive. I have another harddrive from a friend that boots up but when I set this as master and the messed up one as slave, i still get bsod. how can I get it to not check the slave and launch windows

It says to disable any anti-virus, defrag, and to use chkdsk/f
