Swapped the processor out with a P4 out of the Dell that I just started
working on. Went through the whole process again.......same result.

If it IS hardware related, something is bad that I already replaced.

Hi abright52,

You would not have gotten that Blue Screen, if the Seagate did not boot
up. So, now after you finish formatting the WD Drive on another system and
install the operating system on the Hard Drive and boot up the Hard Drive
using the computer, you need to replace the CPU Processor. You already
replaced the Motherboard. The CPU controls what gets written to the Hard
Drive, thru programs. And the Boot Record recorded using that CPU Processor,
could be corrupt, that the computer could not boot and you get the "Disk
Boot Failure".

Note, you will get the Blue Screen again, using the WD Hard Drive with a
different motherboard, if it boots, when putting it back into the computer
that was hit by lightning, just like the Seagate.

You will need to reformat and reinstall the operating system using the
motherboard and CPU Processor that the WD Hard Drive is going to run in.

Question: Did you test the Memory / Ram Sticks using a different
Motherboard that takes the same Memory Cards?
