IDE HD Boot Probs
My mighty backup PC, Asus MB 2.66 Pent 4 running XP Pro
has died. All of a sudden, as in overnight, it will not boot from a HD. Will boot from floppy and from CD just fine. Try boot from HD and I get NTLDR not found, I get Boot Image not found, or it just recycles to try to reboot (unsuccessfully). Never actually boots. I have flashed bios, replaced the IDE cable, tried different HDs. btw - all HDs boot successfully in a different pc. What might this be? A bad HD controller on the MoBo?? thanks chuck |

Did you try switching IDE headers on the motherboard?
