Answer» Because it was installed for totally different hardware from what you are trying to use it on now?I see your point.
I guess that leaves me with two final questions about this... a) is their anything I can do to STILL use this HARD drive? or b) I have a second hard drve that needs an adapter to ATA, does ANYONE know where I might find one? Nowhere local has them.Do you not have a legal Windows CD to install with? That seems the best solution for a lot of reasons.
Cyberguys have most every type of adapter. www.cyberguys.comI got a legal Windows cd and went through the installation (SEVERAL tries) and it still freezes up everytime. I'm just going to look on there for an adapter and try my other hard drive. It's gotta be something with the compatibility of this current hard drive, right? I mean i've tried EVERYTHING else.
Again, thanks for all your help, i'll look into that site for sure.OK. Let us know.
