Hi,
I’m having problems booting my PC. I’ve recently reinstalled Windows XP and then tried to reconnect a relatively new (2 months) Seagate Barracuda 160gb drive via IDE, exactly as it was connected before when it worked perfectly. I then rebooted and had an error saying that I need to select a boot device or place media in the selected boot device. I rebooted with the XP disc in the CD drive and Windows went through the setup process but then hung at the point of copying files. I disconnected the second drive and rebooted with the XP disc in the cd drive and the same error appeared again, so I’ve again had to reinstall windows as it won’t let me repair the previous installation.
Could this be an IDE cable problem, perhaps, or one of my hard drives dying on me?
Any thoughts and tips would be most appreciated.
thanks
Jamie…
