    Cannot see Hard drives

    Don't have any spare but I do have 2 lots of 256Mb in - I will take one out at a time. Or is it likely that both have gone? Computer running fine on Windows 98. Just having a few networking problems on my home wireless LAN. Things are so much easier with XP!

    Cannot see Hard drives

    Ok. Have got an old Windows 98 boot disk and thsi sees the drives - have managed to install Windows 98 on one of the drives. ( this takes me back) Everything OK but still cannot get XP to install. Stops at Starting Windows screen. Do not want to play with other HD as that has data on it...

    Cannot see Hard drives

    Have swapped cables and also tried two different HDs. Even put both in at once. BIOS recognised both master and slave but when get to DOS nothing. Have tried a different cable. I suppose both HDS could be goners but if thats the case it must be a really bad week! What have I done to deserve that!

    Will check the MOBO drivers. See if I can find anything to update.

    Cannot see Hard drives

    My computer has recently stopped working for no reason that I can see. I have tried booting from XP pro CD and into DOS but Hard drive cannot be seen by either of these. All appears OK in BIOS. I swapped in another Hard Drive. BIOS noticed the change but DOS still cannot see it. What should...

    XP stopped working

    Both Hard Drives are invisible to Windows and DOS. Have now tried each as master and now got one as Slave. BIOS copes with the changes but if go to DOS no C or D drives

    XP stopped working

    Well thanks for your help everyone but I am still getting nowhere. Have discovered that the HD is visible in the BIOS but not to the XP CD or - worst of all - in DOS. HAve swapped cables and put a different HD in. BIOS recognizes different HDs with no problem but nothing else sees them.

    XP stopped working

    The computer is one I built myself over a year ago. Have had no problems till today. Cannot remember last time I changed anything.

    XP stopped working

    Last Known good also just stops. Do you think there may be something fatally wrong with HD?

    XP stopped working

    No new hardware. I have removed all USB stuff. Still no joy. Goes through Bios and then blank screen. No activity on HD.

    Drive letters

    There appears to be nothing in Startup and I cannot see that any new programs have been installed. I think I am going to have to rebuild this station to get rid of it!

    Drive letters

    OK - so when I do the subst O: /d everything reverts to as I want it. The O drive becomes the Users home directory. But as soon as log off it reverts to this strange drive that only appears in My computer - not in Drive mappping or Disk manager. So what does this subst command do and how do...

    Drive letters

    An NT station has recently altered its O drive. We use O as part of our network drive mapping but suddenly this station appears to have its O drive pointing at the local C drive. All the properties for O and C are the same but you cannot access any of the files on O. If I go to disk...
