How you are sure that the hard disk is fine ? It seems, there is a problem with hard disk only.

Try below things...

1 : Do low level formatting once, It will zero fill any bad sectors. Low level formatting taks lot of time depending one the storage capacity of the hard disk

2 : Use your hard disk in your friends computer. Have a check whether it is working in his/her comp properly or not. If its not working we are sure that problem is there with hard disk only.

3 : I think Segate comes with 3 year or 5 years warranty period, So you can go for replacing the disk.

It might be problem of the hard disk - I am not sure! - but the strange thing - once i do format it works fine for one week -the next it starts once again.

enrich,

What is your system configuration? Have you been using XP with SP2 earlier or, is this the first time you are trying to use XP with SP2?

Also try the way RaisingSun suggested. Put the hard disk in your friends system or any other system and check the performance. It will scope down the issue.

Thanks,
Krishna

Enrich,

Looks you are installing XP SP2 for the first time. Is this true? Windows XP SP2 is not comaptible with every motherboard/processor. Else, it could also be that motherbord has some issues.

Thanks,
Krishna
