My system has been locking up lately so I decided to reformat and start over. My drive will not format. It starts but at 6% format it stops saying not ready. I am currently using an old 500meg drive and haven't had a problem (except all I can load is win98!) so I assume it is hard drive failure. I have two questions:
1. Any other suggestions on the hard drive problem?
2. Assuming hard drive failure I have a soyo SY6BA-IV motherboard with ata66, can I use an ata100 drive on this board and will there be any degradation of the drives performance?
