    I tried chkdsk but still the problem remains. I can access it from cmd with the dir command by typing "dir e:\". The only way in explorer i can get access is to go to disk management and right click and clisk open and even then it only SOMETIMES works. Other times it says the folder does not...

    Cannot access memory stick

    Hi 2 days ago everything worked fine, but yesterday I put the computer on and the memory stick did not show up in my computer. The first thing I did was to go to the disk management and make sure a drive letter was assigned. I found out that no drive letter was assigned so I assigned one. After...

    BIOS hanging after installing new hard drive

    Just as an extra note, the bios reads te maximum capacity of the drive as 131071 MB. Windows reads it as the correct amount. Could this be the cause of the problem? I heard something about large disk support on older motherboards, is that related to this problem?

    BIOS hanging after installing new hard drive

    Ive tried changing just about every possible setting in the bios and still it takes a long time to boot. The cables are as old as the computer, but I tried putting my 10GB back in as master and it works fine.

    BIOS hanging after installing new hard drive

    For the purpose of the process of elimination, I disconnected the 10GB drive so at the moment i just have the one master drive. Jumper is set to master and I can boot to windows, I just have to wait a while (around 5 mins)

    BIOS hanging after installing new hard drive

    The jumper on the hard drive is on Master and is plugged in to the Master plug on the IDE channel. The old 10gb drive worked fine with the jumper on the same setting. Could it be that i need a bios update, but I cant see how - the computer isnt THAT old. Thanks

    Cd drive not reading cd's

    Try reading it outside of windows by using a bootdisk for example (assuming you have a floppy drive) and then trying to read the cd from there (using the dir command)

    BIOS hanging after installing new hard drive

    Hi I have recently upgraded a 10GB hard drive in my old computer to a brand new 200GB. After installing the new drive, the BIOS hangs for around 4 minutes on the same screen and then loads the operating system. I dont think the drive is faulty because it works fine in windows and as a slave on...
