I am currently troubleshooting a ME computer for a friend of mine. Here's the problem:
When a warmboot (restart) is chosen, the computer shuts down then begins to restart. The computer hits the POST screen and freezes.
When the computer coldboots (shutdown, turn on manually) it hits the POST screen and continues like normal and loads the ME OS.
I checked the IDE cables. (There are 2 hd's. One 9.5 Gb and one 40 Gb. The 9.5GB drive is the boot drive, but during POST this drive is listed as the Primary slave instead of the Primary Master as it should be. Right now the 9.5GB drive is under cable select by the jumper settings. The 40GB drive is what bothers me. It's an unmarked Maxtor drive. No jumper settings, stickers, etc... is on it. I ran Norton Systemworks 2004 WinDoctor on the computer. It determined that several registry settings were indicating that Drive D was being viewed as Drive C.
Any suggestions as to a proper repair?
