The proceedure mentioned above unfortunately did not work. Any more suggestions?

Anyone?

I tried chkdsk but still the problem remains. I can access it from cmd with the dir command by typing "dir e:\". The only way in explorer i can get access is to go to disk management and right click and clisk open and even then it only SOMETIMES works. Other times it says the folder does not...

Sorry forgot that too. Memory stick works fine on my laptop and every other computer I tried so its definately related to this computer.

I forgot to mention, I have tried repair install and in place upgrade of xp and still the problem remains

Hi 2 days ago everything worked fine, but yesterday I put the computer on and the memory stick did not show up in my computer. The first thing I did was to go to the disk management and make sure a drive letter was assigned. I found out that no drive letter was assigned so I assigned one. After...

Just as an extra note, the bios reads te maximum capacity of the drive as 131071 MB. Windows reads it as the correct amount. Could this be the cause of the problem? I heard something about large disk support on older motherboards, is that related to this problem?

The jumper on the hard drive is on Master and is plugged in to the Master plug on the IDE channel. The old 10gb drive worked fine with the jumper on the same setting. Could it be that i need a bios update, but I cant see how - the computer isnt THAT old. Thanks

Try reading it outside of windows by using a bootdisk for example (assuming you have a floppy drive) and then trying to read the cd from there (using the dir command)

Hi I have recently upgraded a 10GB hard drive in my old computer to a brand new 200GB. After installing the new drive, the BIOS hangs for around 4 minutes on the same screen and then loads the operating system. I dont think the drive is faulty because it works fine in windows and as a slave on...
