hello frnds,

I'm using 2 HDDs.

> 200 GB SATA - Seagate
> 80 GB PATA (non serial) - Samsung

The problem is, when i attach my SATA HDD to my machine, windows XP PRO. on my 80 GB HDD, Shows following err. msg. It was a sudden problem. Both of my hard drives worked fine before. I tried to install Win XP on my 200 GB, but when it checked my drive, it showed the same error message.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

plz help me out and provide me with resolution to this hell of situation...

I think u should discard the PATA hard disk and connect the 200 gig hard disk and install fresh windows XP......and then connect the PATA hard disk and copy all the DATA to the SATA hdd......

The problem may be that the total storage space to tooooo much!!!!
