HAve you disabled the ata or sata controller in the motherboard bios? Are the drives too large (what size?) what board? More details please.

You don't provide enough info for anyone to give you a proper diagnosis.

Need more info:
What Mainboard? New drive installed ? or a current drive just going bad? Did you add any other IDE drives such as a CD before it went. Did you just change OS Did you have a power spike Do you have a super cheap 600w power supply. "Wes Newell" wrote in message newsan.2005.01.10.19.20.54.280236@TAKEOUTverizon .net...

Power went off and on up to about 10 times real fast and then stayed off for about 10 minutes. No problem though. System still running fine as you can see from this message. I have a 600W PSU, but it's not cheap. It cost me $24 almost a year ago now. And that's really the truth. If you don't believe it, call the Walmart in Wylie TX which is within site of my house, They lost power too. Just in case someone wants proof of my power failure.:-) -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

TX where the weather is always nice, it was -12 here yesterday. My spouse
and I were there on a job offer from a tech company we stayed at a hotel not far from the home of the then retired GB the older, according to the bell hop. The offer was financially generous but I refused to move from my family. I never heard so much Spanish outside Spain, we are used to French. $24 dollars and you think that's not cheap, say no more. Glad you got lucky. What would you think the quality of a car would be brand new $5000 competing with BMW Camary Malibu Civic or any car. Can you really make a good quality car for 5000$ advertising 200HP would you buy or recommend it. You could make one if you placed a fake car body over a lawn tractor then fudged the power ratings to sell as a 200HP car. (AKA 600w PS) "make it cheap inside and label it too good to be true outside they will come" Just have to look the same as all the rest on the outside. Just like those 8$ 120w speakers (2w laugh) There is no regulation on how power supplies makers advertise wattage ratings to consumers. Keep in mind that with power supplies ALL come from countries with 1$ a day labour. I have seen systems with too many power demanding items used on cheap power supplies and sometimes the HDs don't want to boot until you disconnect one or two drives. I had to replace 9 of 28 PS at a cybercafe last just week after an ice storm all were cheap 500w 2 ounce crap with exploded caps. They now have Enermax 365w and will last till decommissioned BUT he would not listen and have all others replaced because his buddy who did the assembly job (hospital) suggested his 500w junk PS units were good and the cafe just had bad luck, pay me now or pay me later. I suspect we soon will have that contract for good. Good luck with those top of the line quality $24 power supplies, some people do.

Tommy said the way to tell a Texan is lyin' is to watch his lips, if they're movin', they're lyin'. I don't know who Tommy is, but he either wasn't there or he's a liar. Check with TXU.
