A - HDD SATA Internal 3.5 320GB Model ST3320820NS ( My Main Drive In The Last 8+ Years ),

B - HDD SATA Internal 2.5 300GB Model WD3000BLFS.

---

I Use XPPRO32Bits.

---

With ( A ) I Can:

C - Delete And Create Partitions,

D - Write On The Drive,

E - Using The Drive To Boot.

---

A Family Of Mine Gave Me 2 ( B ) Drives.

F - I Can See The Drives On The Disk Management, But The Only Original Partition Type Is Called GPT Protective Partition And I Simply Can Not Do Absolutely Anything With Them,

G - No Letter Is Even Assigned To The GPT Partition.

Any Ideas Out There ?

Thank You.

to my knowledge, WinXP can't use GPT partitions, so you'll need to reconvert the partition table to MBR. You can use a Linux live distro to do that.

I Simulated A New OS Install From Scratch, Using The Original XP CD, And Business As Usual.

Thank You.
