'I get a list of drivers to choose from but dont know wich to choose.....help please' I'm not sure what you mean?? Perhaps you could fdisk and format the drives and then try installing and see if this helps.

If you have the BIOS set to automatically detect and install a drive then it should be plug and play,if not its easy to install manually in the BIOS...enter the BIOS with the function key relative to your box,on mine its either delete or F8 or F2,it usually tells you at the bottom of the screen when you press the on button and after POST (Power On Self Test)...
