Solve : #0 HDD error !?

1.	Solve : #0 HDD error !?
Answer» i bought a new HDD(Toshiba mk4032gax)40g for my Toshiba Dynabook satellite 1801 laptop.I removed the old one and inserted the new one,restarted the laptop to format and install O/S(win xp) ,the laptop wasted some time and displays "#0 HDD error ".The win xp boots,but at a point says that"HDD not DETECTED ,so installation cant continue. Pls i WANT to know whether the HDD is damaged or the hdd IDE.I'm assuming the Toshiba hard drive CAME with no setup utility...most of them don't. However, you may be able to visit IBM or Maxtor's webiste for a utility CD that will help you install the hard drive properly. Try Maxtor's PowerMax: http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=SeaTools&vgnextoid=720bd20cacdec010VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD The above link is for SeaTools which has replaced PowerMax...USE the DOS version to see if you can setup the Toshiba with it and then GET back to us...
