    Hmm that's weird. It's either your computer have a virus that is causing this weird behavior or a bad software.

    hard disk mbr

    I formated my computers c: drive and installed fresh xp .
    I connected my secondary hard disk (which is creating problem) and then it runs disk check everytime I restart, i repaired its mbr again and formated it.
    But after few hours it corrupted when I was working on computer. I dont know why its happening, if its a problem of bad mbr software then could you please suggest me any good software to repair mbr and then I can make backup of mbr so that if corrupted again I can restrore it.

    Can you still boot your PC? And if not, what message do you get?

    You say you are repairing your MBR all the time, how are you doing that?

    Since you are on Seagate, you could check your HD with a Seagate special tool called Seatools (freeware)

    Maybe also try checking your system memory with Microsoft Memory Checker (iso file to burn on cd) or equivalent.
