Last week I purchased one of the Western Digital 120 gb drives that was on sale at Compusa. I've been trying to install 2000 on it all week and haven't been successful. My bios detects the drive properly, I can partition and format it after booting up from a 98 disc, I can install 98 on it, but whenever I try to install 2000, it always gives me an error message saying that setup has determined the drive is corrupt or something after the part where you can change the partitions.

I've tried making the partitions in fdisk, then running 2k setup, I've tried changing the partitions in 2k setup, I've tried leaving it as one big partition and tried both ntfs and fat32 file systems and nothing works. AFter the partition information screen where it can be changed and it goes to check the drive or something, that's where the problem is. It will stay at 0% complete and a couple minutse later will come back and give the message about it being corrupt or something.

I've also booted 2k from my old drive (which had 2k on it and I've been running it for several months now) and was able to see the drive and format it and partition it in the disk manager utility and copy files to it, etc. Also, during setup, I copied the installation files from the 2k cd to the WD hard drive and have been running setup from that, but still getting the same messages.

Sorry for making a short story long. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> Anyone have any idea? I'm completely at a loss. Thanks in advance
