Not sure what is going on but my machine keeps losing my spare Seagate 120Gb ide drive, this is starting to happen mostly after the pc comes back from Standby mode, but has also happened twice while the machine has just been idle for a few hours.
Also probably not connected but Auto play on my dvd and cd writer drives is not working.
System specs
Mobo Asus A8N5X nforce4, AMD Athlon 3500+ 64 processor, 1 Gb corsair matched DDR ram, System drive Hitachi 160GB Sata.
IDE driver Ms 5.1.2535.0: Sata driver the same as ide.
IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
NVIDIA nforce4 Serial ATA controller (listed twice) driver version: 5.10.2600.666
Primary IDE channel driver version: 5.1.2600.2180 Ms dated 2001.
Secondary IDE channel, driver version: Same as primary IDE
Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE controller, driver version: Same as primary IDE
I have reinstalled XP about 4 weeks ago when I installed the new Sata drive.
Any help greatly appreciated.
