There is a problem just being discovered about HDs that were once loaded by HP and
then fdisked to prapare for a clean install.. Fdisk is NOT preparing the HD correctly
for some unknown reason and simply reformatting doesn't help either. This might
be your problem from what I am finding out. Post back if you want more info.. C
