Re: Yet another Seagate, Failed & replaced
@gary4gar - When I browsed the MSI Site for your MB's Tech Specs, it indicates RAID 0 & RAID 1 support. Try disabling the Onboard RAID Controller and then try to install Windows XP. Update me after trying this.And regarding Seagate SATA Drives, I had a bad experience of 4 of my newly replaced HDDs getting bad sectors as early as 10-15 days.

Re: Yet another Seagate, Failed & replaced
Try to find which SATA controller is on the HD. Based on that, you can integrate the drive for your Windows. I have been doing that all evening yesterday

Re: Yet another Seagate, Failed & replaced
Then a floppy drive would be a better option..! Did you try disabling AHCI? It should work that way, but you'll end up losing the advantages of SATA.. which are negligible in any case...!
