Because what you're seeing / whats happening is what happens to the affected seagate hdd's As it says in the link I posted In some unique circumstances, the data on the hard drives may become inaccessible (<- this could be why youre getting that stop error, which is the inaccessible boot device BSOD), to the user when the host system is powered on |

| 741496 | 2009-01-24 02:29:00 | Disconnected hard drive and dvd drive, still not showing anything on screen(well sometimes it beeps and shows bios and stuff on screen) Motherboard? |

| 741497 | 2009-01-24 02:46:00 | Could well be the motherboard. Speedy even if the HDD couldn't be detected due to drive failure the system should still post and then complain about no system boot device. |

| 741498 | 2009-01-24 02:47:00 | Maybe, but that BSOD is coming up for a reason And I would say it has something to do with the hdd |

| 741499 | 2009-01-24 02:50:00 | Agreed the BSOD is probably related to Blam changing the BIOS settings between AHCI and IDE. But the system not posting at all occasionally is probably a different issue. |

| 741500 | 2009-01-24 03:04:00 | I'll reinstall Vista with AHCI and see what happens I'll post back in about a few hours, going to have an ice cream and a rest.:p Blam |

| 741501 | 2009-01-24 03:05:00 | I would say, its either still on AHCI (if it was on IDE when windows was installed). And it was changed to AHCI after the install Or its because of this firmware issue. BUT, you cant really update it, in case the firmware update kills it completely |

| 741502 | 2009-01-24 03:15:00 | Yep, thats exactly what I did:p I just learnt something today lol... Lets see what happens after the reinstall:s |
Blam (54) | ||
| 741503 | 2009-01-24 03:26:00 | Thats exactly what I did when I reinstalled windows on a laptop here. I changed it to IDE (when I installed XP), then back to AHCI after. Bad idea :p It did the same thing (it crashed) And it will crash, because the SATA drivers havent been installed (which is what that stop error (inaccessible boot device, it can't find the hdd) is telling you) So, I left it on IDE mode in the BIOS. It hasnt crashed since And this is exactly what I said in post #4 :p It sounds like you changed it to IDE, installed Windows, then changed it to AHCI mode? If this is the case, change it back to IDE mode. |

| 741504 | 2009-01-24 03:48:00 | Changed it back, now what? Theirs still the POST and BIOS prob? Blam |
