    Not reading second existing drive, (Win XP Pro)

    Thanks Wolluf Sorry for delay in responding. I have been offline allday. I decided to check Ontrack's web site for any help in removing the overlay. I came across instead, a trial/demo software called "Easy Recover Professional". So I tried it and it takes an awfully long time hence my time...

    Not reading second existing drive, (Win XP Pro)

    Thanks Wolluf and Jurgen, What I will do next is to return the computer to its original state, before any changes, including rolling back to the old BIOS. I think I will then be able to remove the Overlay at that point, using the Disc Wizard bootable CD. Also at that point the second disk (120gb...

    Not reading second existing drive, (Win XP Pro)

    Thanks Wolluf The overlay was installed in order for the old BIOS to see all of the Seagate 120gb second physical disk about 14 months ago. Whether it was installed on the OS HDD (the small 4.5gb) or on the Seagate 120gb I don't know. I have always presumed it was on the Seagate 120gb. If it...

    Help with changing full HDD (Win XP Pro OS).

    Thanks Wolluf The overlay sotware came with the first 120gb HDD, which is a Seagate Barracuda. However I think the overlay software is from a third party sotware company. Sadly, its looking like a new motherboard. I'll do some research into both possibilities. Thanks again.

    Mant thanks for your reply. Regarding the age of the HDDs, existing 120 gig is Seagate Barracuda and is approx 10/12 months old and will remain as the second physical disk, what will be the first is a brand new 120 gig Samsung both are IDE 133 UDMA. I do use an overlay software which presumably...

    Hello I have two physical HDD's. One small 4.5 with XP Pro sqeezed on and the other HDD 120gb with all my data and programs that don't need to be installed on the C:\ drive. I want to replace the first physical drive which is a 4.5gb HDD, with a new Samsung 120 gb HDD, which is a brown box...
