The 9700pro eats a lot of current.. Your power supply might cave in under the load. You did connect the extra power cable to the card?

Sun should i use the windows partition format? or use the western digital formater?

When you boot from the XP disc it will ask you to delete all partitions then after that what kind of formatyou want. Do the "Full" format. I forgot exactly what it was called. There are two formatting options quick format and a full.

If they gives you problems. Then use the western digital app or wipe.exe. I think that will work on all HDD.

If you don't connect the auxiliary power connector, the ATI card won't let you boot your system.
