I have had this problem recurr, like 5 or six times. That problem would be that I would just my computer and get an error message then I would have Exclamation points (!) in front of my primary and secondary IDE controllers. The only fix I have found is to reload windows. If anyone has a suggestion on why this might be happening I would be gratful.

My System:

333 mhz K6-2
Asus P5-A Mother board not sure about bios version.
64 megs ram
6.1 gig hard drive Primary, 36X Cdrom as slave
2.1 Gig hard drive Primary, 1 Gig as slave
Both are normal IDE drives

Diamond Monster Fusion Graphics Card
Diamond MX300 Sound Card
Windows 95 First release

Would an upgrade to 98 help or should I just put up with it?

Thanks
