Hello,
I've been using XP for several months on a 500gb SATA hard drive. Performance has been excellent but just last week I noticed my PC restarting on it's own every so often. Then I caught a glimpse of the blue screen of death!!!!
Now 1 in 5 times I start up my PC I get a boot disc error? Usually after a few attempts it boots up fine (much slower performance though) and then suddenly it can blue screen and attempt to reboot (where the error appears again)
Usually from being turned off it's OK, just a restart tends to then send it off either with repeated boot disc errors, of if it gets through that then a cycle where it gets to the XP loading screen then restarts then get to the xp loading screen and restarts etc.
I am not a particulalry technical person, I installed the hard drive (and XP) myself though (the rest was built for me). I've heard stories that I should have partitioned the HD prior to installing XP on it due to the size of the drive.
I am at a complete loss, if anyone could help me (and take me through steps) I would forever be in debt.
I'm sure it's not a HD failure though as I can still move files, back up (which I did!) and everything else works fine when it's on.
