The problem is getting windows to see the hard drive after I connected it and booted. Bios sees it but when I go to disk management to format it, it's not listed. This is the first time I've installed a new sata3 HD on a windows XP install so I thought it might need special drivers to see it. I tried cloning the new drive with the old IDE drive (using Acronis) and then boot from the new drive but all I got was the BSOD. I know I'm doing something wrong but not sure what it is.
