I can do that but for what mb's cost not sure it is worth it, plus the mb is vintage 2001.

Re: [H] drive question/ Tim/update
I forget who suggested this IBM drive diag here but I am so glad they did, it's pretty sharp. You'd think the WD diag would be able to Dx it's very own drive. If it passes the IBM diag I'm pretty much ok with it.

Re: [H] drive question/ Tim/update
When I run the xp repair console and fixmbr it will boot and run but back to not booting again on reboot. scanned for virus, none found scanned for spyware, some found, nothing serious. did find a leaking cap on the MB. at this point I do not know if it is the drive or the mb ( Tim ) I happen to have a exact model in stock and will attempt booting to it. wd diagnostics still say not a wd drive. WD says this is usually a jumper problem, tried all there with no luck. I wonder if a reformat may fix this ?
