i don't seem to have many problems with my pc these days since having some major parts replaced on my mobo, but i always pop in to read and join in if the opportunity arises.
i saw hooners thread and racked my brain for a problem.
i do notice when i reboot every 2/3 hours to refresh my pc i sometimes get a frozen black screen with "boot disk error please insert CD" etc.
i usually hit the enter key then it boots as normal??.
is this something i should be worrying about.

lol, sorry mate, I understand the post now!

Maybe something to do with the boot order in your BIOS?

I have CDROM set as 1st Boot Device, and I get two "searching for CD" messages at POST, maybe if you changed your boot order and put IDE-0 first?

Just a thought............
