Hi,
I'm a computer noob.
I have a 12 year old retail-purchased PC that came with WinXP Home pre-installed on the 160GB hard drive. The original OEM hard drive squeals terribly loud and sounds like it's going to die. I'd like to replace it, but not sure how to get WinXP installed on a fresh hard...

When I first built my pc, my Seagate SATA drive arrived DOE, so I used a older 100GB IDE Maxtor and used Windows 7 x86 without problems for about a month. The drive has since been used as a backup drive by my brother for the past 9 months. It has had no problems till now.

I have a SATA Raid setup that I don't want to mess with. I added a seperate IDE hard drive that I am going to install Windows 7 on. I tried to install Windows with the IDE set up as a slave. This did not work. I then disconnected the SATA setup and set the IDE jumpers to master. The install is...
