im to facing exactly the same problem. I have a 80 GB IDE and installed a 320 GB SATA. Drives are dectected in BIOS. and when win xp is booted from the IDE, i get an icon in the taskbar that says "safely remove storage device". In storage->memory management, the drive is uninitialized. when i try to initialize it, i get an error and windows asks me to check event manager logs. And in event manager logs i get a "CRC error" and "I/O request timed out errors". Can anyone help me with fixing it?
PS : animegonah, were u able to fix ur problem? it would be great help if you could share the solution with me!
