okay i found out what the problem was....i had an ide dvd burner and everything else was sata...the technologies werent compatable and thats why vista was having problems installing into the harddrive
alright thanks for the help im just gonna assume its dead...and as for rma..i cant do that..i got this hd from a friend and hes had it for a year. SO i think il just buy a new hd...this one to be exact http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136320
im not installing xp im trying to install vista..and i think the connections are good...how do i know if its dead? also i tried to install vista again and it detected the drive. It started to copy the files then an error message came up : (
you would think the hard drive would already come with the drivers installed...since its a freaking harddrive and can store it in itself !!! im very frustrated
lol you guys kinda strayed from the topic didnt you...well guess what my gfs uncle came over today and helped me build it..and i had a few minor problems with fan connections and videocard power...but now it works...but i have a new problem haha...im trying to install the OS and it wont detect my stupid drivers even though the bios lists the driver ..idk what to do
