hi ; I wasted a week end searching bios, chipset and motherboard  sites (full of traps to make you spend money) and found the answer at the disk manufacturer site; modern disks are to fast for older bios and XP; all I had to do was put a jumper on to slow the disk down (all expalined on the disk FAQ page) and BINGO ! end of problem .
