I recently installed a new hard drive. It is a Western Digital. I am trying to install WinXP on it from scratch. When I try to use fdisk from a floppy A, it gives me the first big paragraph about being over 512 ....anyway I press Y and as soon as I hit enter, it says Error Reading Fixed Disk. If I load off of the XP-CD, it will start, format, etc...it will copy files, then it says it needs to restart. When it restarts, it goes right back through the same thing in an endless loop? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know not what to do? Thank you!
