Alright im having a few problems with drivers and hardware
i have 2 hard drives in my rig C- a 40 Gb and D- a 20Gb the D some times fails like doenst show up in my computer and i think there may be a connect problem with the drive and the power... also if i look at the devices then it shows some that are not working and if i try to install the driver then it wont work and says the driver cant be found--- if anyone has idea let me know and i can post a pic if it helps

thx in advance

windows xp? if so there isnt a driver for your hdd the problem is proberly caused bye a loose power connecter or ide cable make sure they are firmly attached to the hdd if you suspect its the power molex is there a spare one in your case try that if not swap the power molex from your cd drive and see if the cd drive stops showing up if that doesnt work try replacing the ide cable there cheap enough.
