manage on my computer, and nothing shows up there ...

the computer, the CD is a so called Live/Install CD. Is there any hardware

various disk errors. The most common one has been: "the driver detected a
controller error \device\harddisk0\D" Event ID 11. But ...

I have a Dell 8200 with a WD400BB 40 GB. I purchased a Seagate ST3250824A
250GB drive. I have had problems installing it. I have them both set up with
