windows cant read drive

[Guest]

Hi, I am running RC1. For some reason vista some times makes my second hard
drive not accessible. I am able to fix it by booting a norton tool but this
is a pain because then I have to delet the record and reformat and asign it a
drive letter. I cant figure out what causes this to happen. I did notice
before this happened that several of the programs that were running on that
drive either started to run very slow or not even start and crash. I am
pretty sure it isnt the drive because it is pretty new and it is a western
digital. And the only reason I havent upgraded to the full yet is bcs I am
waiting for ultimate.

Hi Jon,

I'd suspect that either the controller cable is not fully seated, or that
the driver for it is having issues. What sort of system is it?

Custom build? Motherboard in use? Store bought? What make/model?
