Ive been trying to install an external hard drive (western
digital 80 gb usb2), windows sees it but then shuts down
and starts up again, reaches to were i log in and then
shuts down again.
So as i cannot install how do i get to change the format
from fat 32 to ntfs etc.etc.
What am i doing wrong? could anyone please help.

KB article 823086 talks about this. Looks like you need to get a hotfix
from MS.

It probably doesn't have anything to do with the formatting on the
drive. Its more likely a W2000 or driver issue.
