Well i just got this seagate baracuda 7200.9 200gb sata drive, if i try starting my pc with it plugged in, my computer doesnt get past the logo screen (the screen with the commands on, eg "press 'Del' for blablabla").

So then i try pluggin it in while im logged in to windows, then the pc just freezes.

I have sata drivers etc installed in xp. I dont know if i have to install them in bios.

ive tried unpluggin my IDE drive completely, while leaving the sata in on its own, but still no luck
Please hope someone can help

Thanks
