Hi
just installed nice new 200GB 7200 rpm Seagate Momentus in my notebook.Old drive came with Vista Premium but I tried XP(SP2) now and new drive was not even detected!I reinstalled Vista without any problems,new drive is properly discribed in BIOS and in Device Manager(with Microsoft driver) with full 200GB capacity.Still,whenever I am trying XP(SP2)drive is not detected.I ran all tests from Seagate web site-drive is properly installed and operational,but only in Vista.Any help please?
