Booting Problem
I have 3 drives installed 2 SATA and one IDE
First SATA has the OS(Win7 Ultimate) installed, and the others have been wiped and just used for storage now.
Checked the bootup order in BIOS and the OS drive is selected for first boot.
The problem is when i turn the PC on it beeps once then gets to the Windows 'Lights-forming-flag' screen, then the pc goes no further and restarts itself, it then gets to a black screen where i can either select :-
Start Windows Normally' or Launch Startup repair.
If select Start normally it does so with no problems and if i select startup repair it says i have to use system restore which if i select it restores it and again all is fine.
So either way does work but obviously theres got to be some kinda problem that's stopping it starting up properly.
Has anyone got any ideas please?
