rjz Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 This on;lly happens on cold boot when power is off for 2 minutes or more. When I boot it goes into bios post an dloads everything up to HD. During this time I here a lot of strange noise. So I have to power off and reboot sometiomes several times before HDD detectiopn. I have already run the WD HD diags. They found nothing before. I am running them now. What could this be? What coult the noises be if there are no bad sectors or other problems? I very rarely cold boot.

Mekrel Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Several solutions would be to update the motherboard bios if your comfortable with doing that.Its pretty safe unless you are unlucky and have a power cut, just make sure you know what to do exactly first.Contact WD, I remember one person on another forums saying they had a problem with a certain drive (it was the dfi-street forum) on the DFI LP 250GB (same board as me) and they confirmed that they had several reported issues and a firmware upgrade was needed.I know these are different manufacturers to yours, but you never know - worth a contact.Also test different IDE/SATA cables and try a different controller on the board.
