look at my sig for specs.
i am having a problem with my ibm hard drive. i will start my computer and it will not detect the drive. says press f4 to skip. ipower down the computer and immediatly power up again within a second of shutting it off. it now jumps into my bios telling me a cpu speed is invalid and i set it to 1533, which is the speed of the 1800+ chip. i save changes and exit and the bios now picks up the hard drive. ive done this a thousand times. it doesnt detect it the first time and finds it the second. ive run ibm's hd tests and it checks out fine. S.M.A.R.T says the hd is ok with no problems. ive done every test to the hd and it comes out with flying colors every time. does ne1 have any ideas as to why this happens????
ps. ive changed ide cables like 6 times and that didnt help either
