Hi All,

We got a replacement of 120Gb SATA HD. The setup recognizes it as SATA 0,
windows xp pro starts to format the drive and fails to complete the
process, giving the long list of reasons, like incorrect disk format,
check the connectors, disk damaged. This is a new disk from dell, we are
trying to replace the old one which started to produce 'disk read error,
press alt-ctrl-del to restart' on every boot attempt. The machine is Dell
Optiplex GX270.

Do we need a special SATA driver? If yes, where can we get it? Dell site
has nothing listed for that particular model. Help!


Irena.
