hey i am geing roblem regarding hardisk i have 40gb segate baracuda bu i detect sometime & some ime idoes not detect

in my experience this is normally caused by 1 of 3 things:
1. loose or damaged IDE cable
2. CMOS battery is dying
3. progressive hdd failure i.e it is slowly dying

i have also seen it caused by dodgy power supplies or even from other dying drives. for example a failed/failing cd drive on the same cable can cause problems with a hdd

The HD problem is more serious than I thought...it's starting to have an adverse effect on his keyboard.

i think he is indian. my guess is english is his second language so just be a little more thoughtful in future. you didn't really cross the line it's just people can be easily offended

Sorry, didn't mean to cause any fuss...just a little harmless fun & games...besides, if english is his second language he's doing very well. :surprised

i know. i've just grown to object to anything like that because my grandfather (he is italian) is very sensitive about the way he speaks
