Could just be a loose cable, could be something worse. You need to identify the manufacturer of your HD and get the appropriate utility to diagnose the drive. -- Gary S.

Re: Windows XP Professional Will Not Load Up "C J." <no.reply[ at ]example.invalid> 13.07.2007 19:59:21 Put the drive in another Windows XP system, configured as a slave, and see if you can view the contents of the drive that won't boot there - if you can see files and access them... you should back up your important stuff.
