Have you recently re-partitioned and formatted the drive?

There are two ways to repartition. Either buy the software that can repartion without destroying the data on the drive...like Partition Magic by Power Quest or Partition Commander by VCom...and use it to repartition the drive....or....

...boot with the XP Cd in the CD drive and use its partitioning utility to first remove all existing partitions and then repartion however you want. This method will destroy all data on the drive.
