MY HDD FAILED ON ME and ive bought a 120gb one from maplins
i THINK i have it in right, with the little pin things on the right one, but xp wont load off disk (copy lol)
the old 1 was set to master with slave, but this new1 does not have the same settings, ive set it to master, but the pin thing is in a different place, its a different make too

And, if your copy of XP turns out not to be a bootable disk, you can always download the XP bootdisks from here:
