Re: Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160gb / XP Pro Cannot Find Hard drive

this is the type of error that you get when the drive is setup for NTFS. if so the drive will have to be FDISK'd to a FAT32 partition. Then you should be able to install XP.
I assume that you have the means to reload VISTA, when you change your mind?
