Okay... I went and formatted the drive on my PC... no problems... yet... now that I think about it he probably has bad RAM.... it came out of his old machine... a 200 Mhz... and a stick of 64 that was in the mobo I gave him ( my first machine
) That would exlain why the HD is just fine on my comp, but I always BSOD on his PC whenever I try to install anything.... Oh well... I guess I'll take care of the USB, drop in the HD with M.E. and see what I can do from there..... thanks guys :)
