Right...

I've tried new cables... 80 & 40...
HDD and CD/DVD-ROM now on separate cables.

What I cannot understand is, if it's the drive itself that is faulty, WHY does it function perfectly when I boot from the Windows install CD ?

This tells me that the drive is OK and that it's got to be a Windows issue.
No ?

ALL 'drivers', Ha Ha Ha Ha, are OK... There actually is no other driver available other than the default/generic MS one.
None of the versions of firmware update make the least difference.

Anybody ?
