do the following to get back task manager
Using the Group Policy Editor in Windows XP Professional

1. Click Start, Run, type gpedit.msc and click OK.
2. Under User Configuration, Click on the plus (+) next to Administrative Templates
3. Click on the plus (+) next System, then click on Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options
4. Find Remove Task Manager in the right-hand pane and double click on it
5. Choose the option "Not Configured" and click Ok.
6. Close the Group Policy Window

my own much smaller hard drive does this, i purchased a SATA reader a few months back after my hp's motherboard crashed, i was able to save the documents and recover most of my photos and some prgms, since then, the disk won't open at all, and same as max, it wont let me format either.

I'll try the instructions above asap, otherwise, does anyone know what can cause this? and/or any other possible sol'n?

Thanks!
