hi

i have this bad problem   .... i have a SATA harddisk and another IDE one .... i connect the IDE using mobile rack .....

now sometimes the cpu detects the IDE and sometimes not .... (i am not changing the jumper settings)

it even sometimes detects it at startup and everything is ok .... then after an hour or so .... the cpu cant see the harddisk .... with the PC still ON

what makes this worse is that when the IDE HD is not detected .... the CPU doesnt see the DVD drive either  

so what could be the problem ?  :-?

Sounds like it could be a driver problem or possibly a FAULTY MOTHERBOARD. Do you connect the SATA HDD and the IDE HDD at the same time?You have not had a checksum error,have you? :-?

I don't know the age of the computer,or the condition
of your CMOS battery. Quote
