We need a little more information, but it sounds like winme did not set up the right hard disk controller for your motherboard. What kind of system do you have? what kind of motherboard and chipset in particular?

[Damned Angel]

some bootsector viruses will cause this behaviour. run a scan on your system

There's an article on ms knowledge base about msdos compatiblity mode with hard drives.

i had this problem many moons ago, i got it sorted by installing the latest bus master IDE controller drivers for my mobo.

Thanks all This is the best place I have found for the right answers, I got my problem fixed and it was the drivers for my raid controller I reloaded and it fixed the problem I guess windows me gets screwed up when it loads and this plug and play can really be a problem Thanks again all
