Hi Newsgroup,
I'm having alot of trouble booting up WinXP Pro SP1 on one of my computers
(SP2 doesn't work on it). I have two HD's. System-applications disk is
plugged into the mother board on the primary channel and is (obviously) the
C:\ disk (no slave attached). I have a data disk (that has all temp
directories on it as well) D:\ disk which is connected to a Silicon Image
Sil 0680 IDE (non-raid) card with the correct and latest driver, and no
slave attached. Whenever I boot the machine, it just a constant stream of
errors before the machine decides to reboot itself. Errors in general state,
Delayed write failure, cannot save or write data in C:\$Mft$, or
C\Windows\System32\. After that kind of error pops up about 157 times I get
a basic logon prompt, when I enter the user name and password the computer
reboots.
I can only get in via "Safe Mode With Command Prompt", from there I type
'explorer' into the command prompt and get the typical safe mode graphical
windows interface. In there I noticed that my D:\ disk (attached to the Sil
0680) is disk(0) and my system-apps disk C:\, is disk(1). Just want to ask
could this the cause of my problems? If so I can't for the life of me get
C:\ to be my disk(0) and D:\ as disk(1), is this possible? Silicon Image is
of absolutely no help...
Specs;
GX440 Motherboard
Intel PIII 550 MHz Chip

ATI Radeon 9200 SE Atlantis 128 AGP Card.
13 GB System Disk
60 GB Data Disk
Silicon Image Sil 0680 IDE (non-raid) card.
SB Audigy 24 Bit Sound Card.
Windows XP SP1.
Thanks for your consideration newsgroup.
