I dont wanna sound like a losser but.....
The prospect of putting something as simple as a floppy drive in my PC is something im not sure i want to do. Any other time and i wouldnt think twice about it but i paid £1499 not 4 weeks ago for this and i dont really wanna be playing with its insides
//edit//
ok ill attempt this with the USB floppy, now i need to wortk out what drivers i need lol

Well thats it, i have a return to base warrenty for three years, they arrange pick up and collection but this just seems anoying to me as i dont fancy being with out my pc.
I may try ringing customer support, but at £1.00 a min it scares me!!

Yeah, XP does load a generic usb floppy driver upon setup, but I'm not sure if that happens before it asks you to hit F6 for the sata / raid drivers
As fatreg suggests, I'd take it back to mesh if it's still under warranty. You might need to b/s them as to why it's in the state it is now though, they're almost certain to try and wriggle out of repairing it under the warranty.

Yer thats the other thing that puts me off its rather annoying as i have a G5 and a laptop both which have never had such problems i think i mite try the USB floppy see what happens and i will ring the helpline if that fails.
How do i find what ata drivers i need its a Maxtor 6B200M0 on an nforce4 board ?

i dunno if you have go it working but try unplugging the hard drive then plug it back into the motherboard. may pick up the hard drive then. i know its crap advice but some advice is better than none, i find doing things like that always work for me.

You need to get the sata drivers from the motherboard manufacturers' web site, not Maxtor. If you don't know the make and model number of the motherboard, you have three options:
1. Take the side off and have a look (might void your warranty)
2. See if the mesh website has the full technical specs for your comp (it might even have the driver!)
www.meshcomputers.com
3. Take it back to the shop
