When the PC first boots up it detects the HD OK, the disk is running as a single master, I've tried the Single Master jumper setting and cable select.

The disk is a WD IDE 160GB.

Any advice welcomed

What version of XP Pro is it? Unless you have rolled service pack 2 into the XP setup it is likely that XP is not reconising the drive correctly (XP SP1 and below is limited to 139 gig).
