installing windows

But I've been dealing with WD drives for a bit lot longer then you've been around.

You have no idea of how old I am do you? You have no age on me at all. From most of your post I can tell, I have either been doing it alot longer or gained alot more knowledge from it then you have. Google Master.
 
i know why my computer wont see my HD because my GX1 can only see HD max 120gb so the only way for it to see my 500gb is to get a controller card and to be fair my computer isnt worth it i might aswell get a new computer
 
An addon controller is an option if you intend to keep the older system running for some reason like having a spare backup case onhand. Test Linux distros all you want with the old box for sure.

A newer updated build will solve a long list of drawbacks and allow a great deal more flexibility in the long run. That includes dealing with the newer even larger 1tb Green Power drives available. I'll be looking at a pair of those for the next since I work alot with video projects where there's never enough drive space.
