| 693117 | 2008-07-28 12:48:00 | How can I get Windows XP setup to recognise my hard drive, it stopped working so I put Ubuntu on it to see if my hard drive was ok, and it is, and I copied all my files to another partition (the linux one) and then went to format the xp partition and reinstall xp, but when I run setup it gives me an error message saying that it needs a hard drive with at least however much space, so I'm guessing it doesn't recognise my hard drive. HELP!!! | supersaiyanplough (8098) | ||

| 693120 | 2008-07-29 08:21:00 | How much space is left on the hdd / how big is it? It doesnt sound like its not detecting the hdd. It's detecting it, but there's not enough space (left on the hdd), to install XP on it. |
