fifogigo Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 May not be this but i've seen that quite a few times when there is a mbr based virus, if that is so boot from a clean boot disk and type fdisk /mbr. That may help it, although it is possible it may make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen it caused by a few things. Sometimes a bios update did the trick.. Others were because of some IDE controller drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlo555 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 There is a chance it could be due to a failing IDE cable. That happened to me a few months ago, but I had a bunch of errors for that in the BIOS as well.I'm guessing it is more likely the chipset drivers, because the last time I saw a drive using compatibility mode was when I had an external hard drive, and the USB 2.0 drivers were creating some weird conflicts. I'm sure there's a chance that the motherboard drivers could be doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 There's a solution where you can fix your MBR. I don't know how it can be done. I read about it somewhere.However, you can format drive C along with the last letter drive (H in my case).Then, if you re-install Windows and still have the problem, simply you have to format all partitions.
