Hi, in my PC I have 3 IDE HDD's, 1 160gb samsung and 1 250gb WD and 1 20gb Seagate, now when I tried to install Windows, I got to the setup, then it reset my PC, so I disconnected the 20gb Seagate HDD and it worked fine, now if I re connect the 20gb seagate, on loading into Windows I get a BSOD, cant tell what it says tho, but I have to disocnnect the 20GB hdd for it to work, any ideas? could the drive be dieing?
 
I would seriously suggest ditching the 20 GB disk. To be that size it will be old and slow. I would suggest copying the data off (use a linux live cd if you need to) and taking it to bits for fun.

Not too helpful I know, but a 20GB disk in this day and age is not really very useful !

Well I know, I used it for a test partition, its the HDD I was plannign on using for Vista and then when I upgrade this PC it would be for my secondary PC :(
