Thanks in advance. You guys always give me great advice quickly.
Problem:
Yesterday I was running my Dell PC. Downloading, copying, deleting, playing MP3s, everything that a normal computer does. This morning, before school I loaded up Nero images and did a couple of burns to my MiniDisc for the ride to school. When I came home around 13 hours later, I did my coming home routine of turning on my PC.
Usually in about 15 seconds a message prompt comes up, where Dell's disc monitor notifies that one of my hard drives are operating outside it's specifications, where I then press the F1 key. However I've been waiting a while for that tone, but it did not come. This happened to me before, and I would just open it up, unplug the power cords and IDE cable from the two hard drives and reinsert it tightly. But this time it's not working. After about a minute, I heard the tone but got the dreaded message:
Primary hard disk drive 0 not found
Primary hard disk drive 1 not found
The hard drives:
Primary Master-
Seagate Barracuda ATA IV
ST340016A 40 gigs
Jumpers set to master drive
Primary Slave-
IBM Deskstar
IC35L040AVER07-0 41 gigs
No jumpers at all. The Jumper configurations table shows of no "jumperless" setting.
However, this has worked for me for years.
Extra Info:
When I reinstall Windows XP, I can install the files but still have the same exact problem when rebooting.
I just tried switching my IDE cables with the secondary drives' cable. The first boot worked, but after that, all bootups resulted in the same problem described above.
That is all that I think is needed. If you need more info just say the word.
