Yes, it happens at night. But I think I know what the problem may have been. I had a central Air Conditioning unit installed and when the AC kicked in it made the house lights dim. I bought an APC...

I insert a CD into ROM and when I go to My Computer it doesn't detect the disk.

I normally leave my computer on for days and nights and once in a while I'll shut it down for a night. I got on the computer and Windows said that it had recovered from a serious error. The details...

Rob,

I appreciate all the help you, ChunkyLover53 & Shyster gave me. I was finally able to get my PC together. It took a while but man was it worth it!:D

I finally figured out why my Sony DVD...

I returned my ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition MB and my AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ AM2 CPU. I'm the one that the CDROM kept ejecting the OS Disk. Newegg refunded my money on these two items. I...

Rob,

Can you take a look at the results I had on the '08:04 AM' thread before Chunky's?

I'm still doing the best I can with the little time I have to dedicate to this project.

Thanks a Ton,...

I appreciate all the time you're taking to help me out.

I replaced the optical drive and the ribbon cable to see if it ejected. It did not eject but I got to the same screen where it says DISK...

I'll try your suggestions when I get home.

If the drive is closed when I boot it still opens.

The only one that doesn't match is SATA 1, it says WDC WD7500AAKS-0. Also, the HDD SMART Monitoring is disabled; don't know if that makes a difference.

Thanks

It's on Master & the device is on black.

I left out some parts for the list. Here they are.

ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ AM2 w/o fan

Zalman CNPS9500 AM2- CPU Cooler

I have the original Xp disc not the boot.

I bought the hard drive OEM & I have no testing disc.

I tried the disc that came with the motherboard and it ejected as well.

Yes, I have the optical drive/CDROM set as the boot priority in BIOS and it still doesn't work. It doesn't work when anything else is set as the priority as well.

It's the Sony DRU840A Dual Formal Double Layer DVD RW/CDRW that you recommended.

What do you suggest my next step should be?

Thank you

I have these units:

Western Digital Caviar SE16 750GB 7200rpm SATA 300 MB/s

Sony DRU840A Dual Formal Double Layer DVD RW/CDRW

Thanx

I'm trying to boot up my system with the XP OS.. I changed the setting in the BIOS to boot off of the CDROM. I get the single beep like everythings okay, but my cd keeps ejecting even after I press...

I'm using Window XP svc pack 2 home edition. It's the full version and I bought it on Amazon.

I'll try your suggestions.

I went into BIOS then Boot Device Priority and changed the First Boot Device to CDROM. I restarted the system and the disk goes in and comes right back out. Shortly after, I get a Disk Boot...

In the BIOS field for my ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe MB, should I change the default settings?

If Yes, where do I get the correct data to input? The manual just describes the options, but no solutions...

No I haven't.

I'm doing the best I can with the information I'm getting from Mysuperpc, google, and the manual.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks :D >>>

How do I use a disk utility, such as FDisk, to partition my hard disk drives? I'm in the BIOS and reading the motherboard manual.

I'm using the Zalman CNPS9500 AM2.

I hope it was the flex in the motherboard. I checked the CPU and the CPU base and it looked good and felt sturdy. I guess I'll find out when I power it up.
