1.
, i did get 1 more BSOD after i unplugged and external hdd,
Do you mean after I unplugged an external drive.
If so did you use SAFELY remove hardware.
Disconnecting an external hard drive, without using safely remove hardware is DANGEROUS to the health of the drive. It is very similar to forcing a shutdown on the computer, so that the drive is still spinning when you disconnect the power.
2.
So which drive is YOUR boot drive. - is it NOT usually C drive and if it is surely it was already commissioned for C drive as boot device, albeit not necessarily the first boot device, but presumably the first HDD boot.So i entered boot menu and chose to load from my C:drive
3. Download this please. - WHO CRASHED
Run the program, click the analyse tab and COPY and paste the results please as a copy and paste not as a file which I have to open.

4. Is the drive E now showing in My Computer.
Go My Computer please, hold your mouse on the drive, or right click and click properties
Please tell me the capapcity and free space of ALL hard drives, including the external.

Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode program generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: nv4_disp.dll (NVIDIA Windows XP Display driver, Version 285.58 , NVIDIA Corporation).

Look bottom right of taskbar with a usb device plugged in. Do you see an incon - small green in colour - hold the mouse on it, it will say - safely remove hardware.
If you plug a flash pen drive in, and it as an activity led on it, you will see the led go out when you follow the procedure described - or using you hard drive, but not when you have the drive open, click on that icon - find the device and then stop it.
It will then say, you may now safely rermove.
2. You will have seen from the Who Crashed that you need to update the Graphics driver.
If it is a branded computer what is the make and full model details please.
Go to the manufacturers site and find your computer on the support link and then see if there is another driver for the graphics.
If it is NOT branded and you know the model of the card to the card manufacturers site and update it.
If you are in any doubt post back for further advice.
If the graphics are connected on the I/O plate at the rear of the computer near to the mouse keyboard and LAN and USB, you need to go to the motherboard site or the computer site
If the graphics care connected further down the case, then it is a separate card and you should go here
http://www.nvidia.co...aspx?lang=en-uk
Option 2 - automatically find drivers click on graphics and go from there.
3. Re the external drive not recognised.
Power down.
Disconnect the drive.
Reboot.
Connect the drive with the computer on.
Watch the taskbar - any message re found device.
If so WAIT
watch the message.
If not seen in my Computer
Go start
right click My Computer
Click properties
click hardware
click device manager
click disk drives
Is it there.
If not is there an unknown device in device manager.
ALSO whilst there are there any entries with warnings - yellow or red.
If so open the entry.
Note the details
Post the full details I have asked for please in the whole of my post.

my mistake I was thinking it was the external drive that was not recognised.
Re the internal drive E that is not showing in My Computer. Have a look in Device Manager as described is it showing there.
The go Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management -is it showing there

Is it showing in Disk Management
2. Re startup enter setup , not boot menu.
The boot menu is a one boot only configuration.
In the BIOS setup find the tab boot priority and set the C drive - it will not be listed there as C, but as its identifier ie WD etc if it was Western Digitial and the reference
-As second boot device if the DVD is the first one.
If both hard drives are shown, set the C drive above the E drive - ie the C drive as second boot device.
then normally the F10 key is save and exit.
Whilst in setup see if your E drive is shown in the BIOS.

in the SATA devices.
It will show SATAand then it will list the drives.
Example and your setup screen may well not be the same.
