| 324374 | 2005-02-12 04:20:00 | Hi, can someone please help me? After leaving my com for around 3 days i opened up mutiple programs and in the mean time was unrar-ing a file, in the middle of the process my computer freezed and i had to manual press the reset button on the computer, after i restart windows XP when to a grey progress bar something like scandisk i guessed but i am not sure since it has no writing and i naver seen it b4 on XP, but it got stuck so i pressed restart again, this time it went to the grey progress bar too and then start to load windows up normally but then u took ages and nothing was moving so i restarted my computer once more in the middle of loading and then my bios just got stuck at decting my drive, so i restarted it and then same thing happens so i waited this time and after around 5 mins or so there was none dected and the message "CMOS checksum error - Defaults loaded" F1 to continue I pressed F1 and it loads up my on board network and restarts the computer after a few times it no longer shows "CMOS checksum error - Defaults loaded" just a 5 min wait and said none detected and restarts the computer, with out letting me boot with cd or a drive. and the hard drive can be detected. :confused: when i took my harddrive off it would let me boot with cd / a drive without it auto restarting. my hard drive is SATA Barracuda 7200.7 200 Gbytes model ST3200822AS my mother board is MSI K8N Neo2 Ms-7025 (v1.X) ATX Mainboard NVIDIA nForce 3 Ultra Chipset Platform: windows XP SP2 is there anyway to fix this problem or some how extract the files from the hard drive, if need more info plz ask away THANKS |

| 324375 | 2005-02-12 05:10:00 | If you can get into the BIOS, set whatever up again. (Is the SATA onboard on the motherboard)?? If so, configure it again in the BIOS. Save the settings in the BIOS and reboot again. See what happens |

| 324376 | 2005-02-12 05:13:00 | ya the SATA is on the mother board, and i tried to reset the setting to the factory defults by using the reset jumper but it still doesnt work, is there any special settings that i need to set for my SATA to work? | Canto (7280) | ||
| 324377 | 2005-02-12 05:31:00 | Go into the BIOS and reset the settings there. Also make sure the power connection and data connection are BOTH connected to the SATA hdd as well. It may have come out. |

| 324383 | 2005-02-12 06:01:00 | Ah ok. Not too far away from here. The only other thing that maybe wrong, is something has blown on the motherboard. The post screen comes up tho doesnt it?? Where it tells u whats on the motherboard etc?? BUT doesnt get as far as loading windows itself? Or does it crash when it gets into windows?? |
