Russell,

I don't have the old WD drive attached at all. In the BIOS, the Seagate is
set to be the first hard drive. When trying to install WinXP on this drive,
it loads the files and then when asked if you want to do a new install or
repair, I hit enter for new and it reboots! If I try to let it boot from
the HD, it tells me that ntldr is not found and to ctrl-alt-del to restart.

I have the cable attached properly. I have one HD set to cable select, the
other is slave but I'll change them around and see if that makes a
difference. I also attached the new cable that came with the Seagate and
still no luck there either.

After this, I'm going to clear the CMOS and see if that sorts out the
trouble. I've built/upgraded 6 systems over the years and to date, this has
been the most challenging and frustrating of all! When I get through this,
I won't upgrade or build again for a long, long, time. yeah, right! :-)
