Hey, im a bit confused here, i just formatted about 2
days ago and it seems that every time i restart the
computer from windows or otherwise it wont detect the
hard drive (quantum fireball as 60) and it says insert
boot cd then disk boot failure please insert boot disc.
If i go into the bios and auto detect it finds it but it
still wont boot when i exit (finds the hd but stalls). If
i turn off the computer and on again everything works
fine. Im pretty sure nothing on the hard drive is screwed
because it was fine before the format, unless its some
programs doing something like tweak xp i have no idea...
motherboard is an epox 8rda+ with bios version 3716.
Could it be something like that it is shutting down
before it finishes with the cache? It almost seems like
it forgets the bios setting after a boot.. i have no
idea, though it seems like something easier than im
looking for... btw running windows xp corp with sp2
Thanks for any help
