Along comes something else!!!

Right..new Hard drive installed as  SLAVE at the moment..picks up
in the
bios at it's correct size 82.3 gb..

Started the PC off a floppy to fdisk-and I'm faced with a total
drive space
on the new drive of about 12gb.

Rebooted strainght into XP, went to my System properties, looked
at the
drive on there,  it's showing 82.3 mb, but as it's unformatted,
it's not
showing anything at all in 'My Computer.

I have Partition Magic on my PC, so I thought I'd take a look to
see if I
could use that to partition and format. I get into the slacve
drive, first
thing I notice is that size of the drive here is only
78.5GB..anyway, I
arrange for 4 x 10gb partitions (The first one as a primary
partition as I'm
going to use Drive Copy to put my cxurrent hard drive into it) and
1 for the
rest.

When I click on 'Apply Changes'-I get the XP blue screen of death.

I also tried in the IBM software for setting the drive up that I
downloaded
off the web (IBM Diskmanager) and I got the blue screen again..

Any ideas?

Cheers

Andy
