Hi,
I bought a brand new Western Digital 200GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive from newegg and it works really nicely except when I leave the computer off for a while and then turn it on again.
When it starts to load windows xp, it emits a high pitched squeak sound and just doesn't load windows xp; just keeps up the "Loading Windows XP" dialogue and the status bar continues to move so it's not a complete freeze.
I usually have to restart it once or twice before it loads with no problem. Then, if I leave it on for as long as I like I experience no problems.
Even a simple restart doesn't bring the symptoms. It's only if the computer has been off for a while...
Thanks
