PC Booting issue
I have a old P3 600 with XP pro on it SP3 just installed two days ago. Going to use as a file share between other pc's.
If the PC is off & then turned on I get a Pri master failure, if I alt ctrl del it boots fine... If I just restart the PC it boots fine. The HD is on its own IDE cable & I even tried unplugging the CD rom thinking it was a conflict between master & slave but it still does it. BIOS shows the HD just fine & I even pulled the BIOS battery. Any ideas? |

Its either the drive going south or the mobo...
Does the mobo have any leaking caps? Is the mobo battery still good? |

What brand is the drive, and exactly how is it cabled and jumpered? What's the brand and model of the power supply?
