Hello:
I am currently running Windows XP service pack 2. Up until today everthing
has been operating just fine.
When I hit the restart button as one of the Turn off Computer options
Windows does shut down and does start to come back. The problem starts when
the system looks for the Primary Master Slave; there is a line of text that
says press F4 to skip. It then says none, finds nothing on the Secondary
Master Slave, and moves on the Cd drive, which it finds. I then get the line:
Boot disk failure, please insert system disk and hit enter.
If I force a shutdown by pressing and holding my power button and then turn
it back on everything comes up fine and I can proceed with business as usual.
The Primary Master Slave shows up as my hard drive.
Does this mean I am looking at a hard drive going bad? I have run chkdsk and
everything came back fine. Device manager shows no issues whatsoever.
Thank you for any assistance you can give.
