Can someone tell me what > > 'DriveReady SeekComplete Error' means ? It mostly means that some error occured after the drive had processed a seek command and was ready again. Those errors are quite common, and depending on the exact code can mean anything from some unsupported drive feature being used to a complete drive failure. In your case, check the IDE cable (try another one), see if the error occurs without using DMA mode and if everything else fails try to get your hands on another drive and see if that's working. -- Got Backup?
