My computer restarts immediately whenever I try to write to my 160 GB Western Digital
Hard Drive. I have updated my bios to recognize the whole drive and I've turned
on the Large Hard disk enable in winXP. I did this when I first installed in and
then formatted the drive. I now have 117,505,269,760 (109 GB) used. I can create
a new directory but I cannot write any files to that drive any more. The computer
will completely reboot instantly.
