Whilest these errors are typical of a hardware fault, try the following
before replacing any hardware:

1. Check that all of the connectors (both power and IDE) are firmly
attached. Unplug and replug to check.

2. As a short term solution try shutting down the system, turning the power
off, turn the power back on and restart. If the device still does not work
then it is most likely a hardware problem, the device or controller
card/mainboard (or possibly the connecting cable) may need to be replaced.
If the device now appears to work then this indicates a software or firmware
problem. Be aware that the problem may still reoccur unless the root cause
is addressed.

3. Apply (or reapply) the latest version of the device driver (if any).
Check the vendor website for a more recent driver and if one is available
then load it.

4. Ensure that the latest version of the driver is being used for the
controller card/chipset.


If the problem still persists after trying these then consider replacing the
affected device.

I have currently "new" round IDE cable for all my drives. All are plugge
in.

What is wierd about this is that all my hardware works??
I have two HD's. Master is WD 80 gig, slave is WD 20 gig. Both I am able
to access.

No drivers are required that I know of for HD's or ROM's.(except my burner)

Latest BIOS fflash on Mobo is done. All other hardware has latest drivers
as well.

Strange. The only effect of all of this is that it show up in my error log
and that is it.

No ill effects asto system performance etc. etc.

Thx for the repy, however.
I just want to know Why it is doing it since it never did it on any ohte
installs.

All I did with this install is "disable" APIC to fix a "pop,click, squeal"
while playing online games.
It did fix that.

Thx again........

Hardware can go bad ANYTIME. Sometimes it gives you a warning. If the 20GB
hard drive is the one in question, you may want to download their diagnostic
and run it on it.. Who knows - you may find it is bad and you can send it in
to be replaced. This has happened many times with the Dells I support. It
will come up warning the end user.. They'll freak - we'll back up
everything, send the drive off and replace it with a new one.. No more
problems.
