The other day I was RARing up some large files on my XP install and the PC hung after completing. Nothing could be ddone so I had to hit reset.
When it started up again it wouldn't boot - giving the non system disk error asking me to insert a boot disk.
Fiddling about unplugging the two HDDs and swapping them about and into different SATA sockets on the motherboard eventually let me boot to XP, and then eventually boot to vista too.
But then it did it again, so I went to BIOS and fiddled with the booting priorites. Now it all seems to be working OK again. I'm a bit worried this may hapend again (it did this once before AGES ago when I was just on XP, but after leaving it switched off for a while it was fine).
Anyone else had a similar thing and got any ideas? I'm happy now it's working, but wouldn't want it to happen again - especially if say I'm not here to fix it and the wife wants to be using the computer.
One thing - I'm using the SATA cables that came with the A8n-e and they do seem rather loose and wobbly, coming off the mobo easily. Is this expected with bogg-o standard cables?
