??? ??? this is extremly random btw, the hard drives are there and I can see them on bios screen but windows cant load them. is there anything I can do here ?? included screenshot. |
| Grasshopper:
At what point does windows stop loading? If it's random (i.e. sometimes is boots, sometimes it doesn't) then it's probably a hardware issue. If that's the case then you should back up your hard disk next time you're able to boot. |

i am able to boot fine but windows doesnt see any of the drives except the master boot drive. they show up in bios screen though. not sure whats going on here... |
| headkaze:
Are they listed in Disk Management? Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Disk Management. |

It could be the controller. Get one of these if you have IDE and then hook it up USB to make sure. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232001 If you have SATA the you could use, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002 Jon |
