There are a whole series of errors that appear in the Event Viewer log (nice feature!) when I boot up XP. I occassionally blue screen on start up which after a safemode boot seems to resolve itself. The errors appear whether it hangs or not.

Typically there are several:
Souce: Disk
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\D.

and a ...

Source: ATAPI
A parity error was detected on \Device\Ide\IdePort0.

anybody any ideas what the problem is??

It may be that I havent put any motherboard related software drivers on after the install of XP but thats just a long shot - Im using an ABIT SE6 with an Intel PIII 800EB. From the errors it looks like a hard drive problem though.
