hi all! simetimes when i reboot, i get the inacessible_boot_device message on the blue screen. re-booting corrects the problem. any idea why, and how to fix? W2000P+SP2 is on a 5GB volume, and a 13GB volume is on the same disk, no other OS installed. i also have a slave HDD were the paging file is: does the connection on the flat cable matters? mine has (from the mother board) first the master HDD, then at the other end of the flat cable, the slave HDD. thank you! alberto
