I have just bought a 80GB Hitachi IDE drive to replace a 40 gb maxtor that had failed in my old P4 pc.
When I try and install windows xp on it and it gets to the bit where it formats it, it gets to 100% and then says the disk cannot be formatted and my be damaged it does this if you choose quick or full format.
I have tried this drive in my other pc and it picks it up fine, I have formated it from this pc ok but when trying to install xp on it again from the P4 pc I still get the same message when it comes to formating it.
Any suggestions on what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
