I have been having boot up problems, drives not showing up any longer,
programs missing or files missing or not running errors.

Intermittently I have bootup problems, then have to disconnect one SATA
drive to get XP to load at all.

I tried to install XP components again and it won't let me run setup. The
CD-drive is reading since it opens the files but it won't run setup!?

In addition, I had to do a system restore after I installed SP 3, so all of
this started after the SP 3 was installed/updated.

I also did a BIOS driver update thinking that might help with the bootup and
HD not found problems, but it didn't help. I don't know what else to try or
what else could be causing all this.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your immediate replies!
 
Thanks for the reply and info. I have contacted them and am in the middle of
getting support, but their chat support closed on me...when had to do a
reboot...
guess I have to wait until tomorrow to get further assistance.
 
I was having a similar problem with HDD's not being recognized on bootup. I
reseated the cable and viola the problem has vanished. Got this from another
poster here on the groups.
