Hi all,
I have a problem I haven't been able to fix :
I have two hard drives in my PC. for a few weeks now, every once and a while, when I boot my PC, it doesn't detect any of my hard drives (Before even starting windows). Sometimes it detects just one of them. Sometimes it boots ok, but then after a few hours of working windows 'loses' one of them (always the same one, disappearing from My Computer), and then I have to reboot and go over the 'rebooting roulette' once again. I don't have a clue of what can cause this (it's obviously a hardware problem since it arises before windows even gets to load). My spec is :
Intel Pentium 3 GHz Hyper Threading + 1024 MB Dual DDR 400 MHz RAM
ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe Motherboard
AMI BIOS Revision 1023 (I've upgraded it, didn't work)
2 Western Digital SATA Drives (Configured without RAID) :
* 120 GB 7200 + 8MB (Primary, with windows installed)
* 200 GB 7200 + 8MB (Secondary, the one disappearing from windows)
NEC DVD RW IDE Burner Model 3520A
LAN 10/100 PCI card
ASUS Radeon 9550 AGP Card
Windows XP SP2
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!
