Windows boot up problem: the volumn that was removed had open files on it...........

[MAMAFUFU]

I have an A7V/win98se comp that recently gives me some trouble.

Sometimes(about 1/2 chance) when booting into win98 , the comp went into blue screen and have this message:

************************************
Windows
The Volumn that was removed had open files on it. Next time please check first to see if the volumn can really be removed.
Press any key to continue
**************************************

My harddisk(IBM 15G) is installed on onboard Promise ATA100 primary master.
The onboard IDE( VIA) only has an Sony CD-RW installed on primary master.

This system was running for the last one month. the problem occured only after I installed Norton AV2000, but I have removed this program.

It has not been add/change hardware since first install of win98.

I'v had the exact same problem, when I removed my slave drive from the ATA100 cable and put it on the ATA/66 cable. Did you add or remove another HD by chance. For me even after continuing it gives me all sorts of BSOD's and finally I have to reboot. Also what bios are you using.

I forgot to say that once I put the slave back in the ATA100 it was fine. weird.

Hmmmm........never put anything on the ata100 slave chanel.

Anybody can help?

i have the exact same problem...but for me it's like a 1 in 10 chance of getting that message

never installed norton on it though

I started happening when after I did a scan disk and deleted some "unused
files"

hhhmmm weird, for me if I take my slave drive off the ata100 it happens all the time if I put it back never.
