2,3 ide drives disappear
i have 3 physical IDE drives (the primary [drive c], and a slave , plus
another as master on second channel + my DVD as the 4th ide device on installing Vista ultimate , runs - but , but every so often , (maybe every couple of days) , wil be 1/2 way thru doing something , and all the drives (physical , and partition) , will all dissapear , except the c (windows) drive , this doesnt seem to happen when i am doing anything in particular , and sometimes happens when the drive is actual being used , i.e 1/2 way thru burning a DVD , the dvd drive will just "dissapear" causing nero to crash , i have also experinecen it many time when doing something basic like dragging a file form one fdrive to another in explorer , 1/2 way thru the copy dialog , an error will come up "cannot find file" , on checking my computer , all drives have dissappaered except C - only a hard reboot , will get them back, sometimes with errors , as i have to perform a chkdisk. i have seen a few posts with comments about checking cabling on the drives , has anyone else experienced this problem seems a bit of a shame that im not using vista , not because of the lack of software - but because basic i/o is falling over ta |

I have had the same thing happened on Windows XP SP2 too.
I cant really remember what I did to solve this problem. Did u find any problem when u installing Windows Vista? Did you 100% sure follow the steps when installing Windows Vista?

yes , ive been running xp pro - for years , with no problem, vista works
fine, and then occasionally the drive "disappear" , im thinking its a problem with a windows driver , and/or some software that i installed after vista , but doesnt seem to be a pattern as to when and why it happens : i was just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem , and have tracked it down to some specific 3rd party software, the only other alternative is it to install a base operating system , and do an image/ghost before each software installation , - but this seems to be using a sledghammer to crack a nut - as it may be several weeks before the problems arises "swasrfa007" wrote: I have had the same thing happened on Windows XP SP2 too.

Hey,
Sometimes when I insert a cd in my dvd drive, it disapears. Reboot, everything back to normal and I can even use the cd, but it happens!!! Any luck with solving the problem yet? -- Joker Computer Engineer " wrote: yes , ive been running xp pro - for years , with no problem, vista works fine, and then occasionally the drive "disappear" , im thinking its a problem with a windows driver , and/or some software that i installed after vista , but doesnt seem to be a pattern as to when and why it happens : i was just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem , and have tracked it down to some specific 3rd party software, the only other alternative is it to install a base operating system , and do an image/ghost before each software installation , - but this seems to be using a sledghammer to crack a nut - as it may be several weeks before the problems arises "swasrfa007" wrote: I have had the same thing happened on Windows XP SP2 too.
