so i restarted my PC and i got this screen, (i quickly took a shot with my phone)
it failed to detect my dvd drive and odd detected my hard drive as BZBZBZBZ...WTF ?
 
Did you put the ide hard drive seen there as master on the middle connector of the second ide cable there? It looks the drives were plugged in on the wrong places with the wrong jumper settings. Either that or the bios is acting up from a weak battery or loss of programming.
 
woah, i never seen this before.... kinda cool
check if the jumper settings

btw... please resize ur pics....

Now that is a new one. bzbzbzbzbzbzb. I know it sucks for you, but that's just funny to me.

Have you made any changes to your system at all lately?

What motherboard do you have?

Looks to me like it could be a virus or trojan. But it could be your MB saying it's time to get a new one.
 
Try resetting your bio's. Remove your cmos battery and clear your jumper, that will set your MB back to it's defaults. After doing that let us know if it still does it.
 
If the bios itself is going or needs a good reflash with an update that may not get you anywhere but it's one thing try. That post screens makes it look like you have the hard drive standing alone on the secondary master position and no optical drives present.

no its not viruses either i'm fully updated.
No changes, i barely do anything on XP these days.
I have a Gigabyte "something". lol..i'll check the model later.

But to conclude i really think my mobo IDE controller is going out, cuz i can put another cd drive in there (with proper jumpers) and it wont detect or it will detect but do not display in windows !!!.
yeah i think its high time i upgraded
 
How old is the board or how long has it been used would be the question? If over a year or more try replacing the Lithium battery for the $2 price there to see if that being weak is causing this. If that works problem solved. If that has no effect a reflash with a bios updated could save the day if that got corrupted. The worst is a failing bios there.

Most are the CR2032 standard calculator type lithium battery found at the watch/jewelry or electronics section in retail chains. Radio Shack, Best Buy, Circuit City, Staples, you name it. :P You will want to take the battery along with you to match it up if you see another number on it for verification. Often you will see those in 2packs for under $3. I keep some onhand here just in case.
