Peter, once again I can't receive your posts! I give up on
trying to find out why. (I only saw this because of Babs'
reply).
If I understand you correctly--the HD boots up fine on
another
PC, and it's not in this one even after a fresh install,
that
would only leave the controller or BIOS as the problem,
assuming the HD cable of course is fine. Try another cable,
then try the HD on a different controller if possible. I
don't
know if this is an IDE or SATA HD and I can't find any info
on
the mobo other than an 845 chipset. See if the BIOS can
boot
from the HD when it's on a controller other than the PRI
IDE,
or if SATA, another SATA connector. If so that would
indicate
that port on the controller is bad. If not, then the whole
controller may be bad. Then you can try reflashing the BIOS
(to the current version again if there is no update or if
you
don't want to update it).
(If you need to contact me you should still have another
email
address of mine on another domain).

I have also had long wait boot up times.. I'm assuming it's
crap that
start-up that I don't see (programs that run in the
background,
spyware,
etc)... If I reinstall windows the boot-up time becomes
astonishing fast
which I figure is the normal boot time....
