I heard from someone i know that XP cant handle 1000 GB...He told me that i could split it up in three parts.
Oh yeah,i solved this problem myself,turns out all i had to do was take out the S-ATA plug and the power cord from the 1 TB HDD drive and it would start up XP normally.Took less the 20 seconds to start up.
So i installed Windows Vista as normal and everything went fine.
But when i connect the 1 TB HDD drive back on it does the same thing.
The loading bar with the 4 green lines comes up and it stops completly.
Im guessing the 1 TB HDD drive is broken or corrupt.
All i had to do to start up Vista normally was to take out the S-ATA plug and the power plug and it works like a charm.

What do you guys think.

(To actually think that it was my 1 TB HDD that was the culprit,i tested every single RAM that i have to make sure none of them was corrupt or broken in some way)
