Everything works just fine. But i get a 1781 harddriv error when ever I boot.
I have scaned the harddrive in xp and in bios and it comes through error free.
But still I get the error message. True it only flashes by (about 5 sec) but it is anoying.. anyone know how I can fix this?

Are you using a caddy? I get something similar from time to time with my caddy. If you are using a caddy with a bridge chip, I suspect the drive is not yet ready due to the spin-up and other delays related to using a bridge chip. The bridge chip is saying to the bios that the drive is there, but the physical device is not ready yet to be addressed. I normally just power-up again. One way that might avoid this is to introduce a longer boot delay before the notebook checks for the drives. Try 5-10s.
