dave.green1 0 Posted December 23, 2002 Hey guys, Here are my system specs: P4 1.8 GHZ 512 MB SDRAM (PC 133) 40 GB HDD (set as Primary Master) 16 ASUS DVD-Rom (Set as primary Slave) 12x8x32 CD-RW (Set as Seconday Master) Radeon 7200 64 MD SDRAM AGP Windows XP Pro w/SP1 installed Every once and a while, my comp will freeze and I lose the CD-RW. I've changed IDE cables, re-installed the the hardware (through the add hardware in XP), hell, I've re-installed from scratch. This same issue happened on my old machine and now I am thinking that it is hardware issue with the CD-RW, and not my machine, but I don't know for sure. Has anyone else every seen or experienced this? I had read somewhere that Nero (which is what I used) would cause the device to disappear in XP, so I removed it but the issue persists. Also, I have noticed that when I go to reboot my machine after installing something like a Windows Update, my comp goes through the BIOS checks and then hangs when trying to load XP. It seems that the HDD is constantly accessed when rebooting, and I suspect that this is the problem, but I have no idea how to fix it. If anyone has ever had this issue, help would be greatly appreciated on how to rectify these problems. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post
