OK...I got step 1 done, which was to get my 20GB HD working, but I come up with the following problem when installing my second one (the 80GB) as the slave:

"The following file is corrupt or missing: /Windows/System32/config/system"

or something like that. It tells me to put in the WinXP Home CD in and repair the file, but when I put in either my WinXP Home Upgrade disc or the WinXP Home Install disc it doesn't boot from the CD anyway.

I thought it might be a jumper setting...this is the HD that I am trying to install:

IBM Deskstar
ICL35080AVVA07-0

I'm pretty sure it's 16-heads, and when I use the Slave jumper settings for it the problem above happens. These are the settings I used:

*::[:][:]

According to what was on the label.

I tried using some other settings (Auto Spin Disable, etc) but then the drive doesn't even get recognized.

Anyone have any ideas?
