Hi, antaresprime...

I emailed them, the technical operator replied my mail.
He taught me many ways....but no one can work...

Guess what. I solved my problem by myself.
I am very angry with the Seagate hard disk.... since it can work perfect
under safer mode.... meant it crash with somethings.... because under safe
mode, many drivers are stopped working...

Then, I tried to go back normal mode windows.... right click "my
computer"...go to "properties"... then "device manager"...

I try "disable" hardware function one by one for testing.... diasble one
then test... cannot...then disable one more, then test....

First I thought is graphic card...
who knows....

It crashes with my creative sound card!!!!
Sxxk!!!!
Fool me almost three days time......

Anyway... I am not sure, your problem is same as mines or not...
but may be you can try like my way...

Good luck!!!!

Cheers!!!

Hello:

I am using SP2 and I did not do anything in safe mode.

How did you report to Seagate? Emailing their tech support? I've never tried
contacting Seagate before. What solutions did they give you?

My problem is that, I bought a new 200GB SATA hard disk. My motherboard is no
built-in SATA connector, therefore I bought a PCI I/O SATA with RAID card. I
installed the driver, windows xp can recognise the hard disk, but cannot
format the hard disk.

I tried many software, even the software from official hard disk website.
While I format my hard disk, system hang, can't move....must press RESTART
button for reboot.

At last, I tried to go into safe mode, it works perfectly. It can be
formatted. No problem at all.

Now here is my problem, while I transfer files to the new hard disk under
normal windows mode. It HANG again.... need restart....press restart button.

So I have to go back safe mode transfer the files.....

I thought is the operating system got problem, so I format
windows....reinstall....
then.....same problem....sad...
