    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?

    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
