766017	2009-04-17 21:45:00	Today bootup it is v slow . Went into safe mode . I chose boot up in last best known confirguration or something like that it grinded its way into windows but the screen reso and colors were good, not 640x480 at 4 bit color . Now appears my 2nd HDD is not there and that if I start AVAST it takes forever to load, it starts up windows with AVAST disabled . Any help?	Nomad (952)

766019	2009-04-17 22:22:00	The hijack is basically clean - looks more like some component may be failing . Now appears my 2nd HDD is not there This could be a failed HDD, or even a Motherboard, Power Supply issue, or cables . The slowness could be the OS trying to locate components . How is the second HDD attached Eg: Slaved on the same IDE as the Main drive, or separate SATA connection ? Edited: click start/Run type in eventvwr Once open have a look through the system logs, see if there is an error(s) that state DISK . IF there is then the HDD has lost contact with the board, going back to the original possible suggested cause .	wainuitech (129)
766020	2009-04-18 00:00:00	2x Master SATAs individually, non RAID. I uninstalled AVAST will reinstall. I restarted and the HDD popped back on .. dunno why not the first time a reboot has fixed it. Then a restart WinXP did a Chkdsk. Seems ok for now .....	Nomad (952)
766021	2009-04-18 00:02:00	Update HJT as well, its way out of date.

I restarted and it redid another chkdsk . . and deleted some indsx entries . Will get on the HJT log .	Nomad (952)
766023	2009-04-18 03:28:00	What Brand hard drive? I would run the manufacturers disk checking software, just incase.	Blam (54)
766024	2009-04-18 04:04:00	The objects speedy told to remove are not infections, just items that dont need to run on startup. These being removed will speed the PC up a little, but they wont be the full cause of it suddenly going slow, or the HDD now not showing.	wainuitech (129)
766025	2009-04-18 04:14:00	What Brand hard drive? I would run the manufacturers disk checking software, just incase. 3 months old HDDs, the same 2, Seagate Barrcuda 500GB SATAII	Nomad (952)
766026	2009-04-18 04:18:00	Are you running them as separate hdd's, or are they in RAID? Is the mobo, the one in your sig?? (P5Q)?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
