Hello,
I'm running windows 2000 professional and I've recently taken my
hard-disk out and put it back in again. Now when I log in I get the message
"disks failed" - no connector cable was found. Press F1 to continue.

When I do press F1 windows 2000 starts normally. How do I get the pc to not
show the Press f1 prompt and automatically log in, since it is perfectly
capable of booting up after pressing f1.
Any help would be gratefully recieved because this is getting on my nerves.

Regards
Robert
 
This is happening before Windows has even started loading. It is your
computer's BIOS that is generating this message, not Windows.

Therefore, in order for anybody to help you, you'd need to specify exactly
which motherboard your computer has and hope that someone with the same or
similar type of motherboard/BIOS will be able to talk you through it.

re seat the cables

check that HD is set as master

If HD set as cable select make sure it is on the last
connector on the IDE cable OR re set it as master.

If there is another drive on the same IDE channel eg CD set
as slave or if using CS on the first connector on the
cable - preferable to have CD on second IDE channel (as
master) if possible
