Well unfortunatly I went to the Hitachi wesite and found the diagnostic utility but when i read further it said that it will not work with the Travelstar HD for whatever reason. I ended up actually sitting on the computer for about 5 hours and i updated my windows to SP2 (dont know why it wasnt on there to begin with) but the probelm seems to be solved thank god.

I did acquire another hard drive today i believe it is a 80 gig (mine is just a 50) I had a friend help me put it in to see if it would work (it is the same brand as the one I have now but it came out of a gateway) and it didnt work something about the computer cant find the HD....I dont know but looks like thats my new project for a rainy day.

Thanks to everyone that helped. You might be hearing for me again hpefully not too soon though!
