IDE Hard Drive not found after XP resumes from hibernation
I have a disappearing IDE hard drive problem with XP Pro Media Center edition SP3, up-to-date with all patches. My primary hard drive is a Samsung SATA drive and my secondary hard drive is a Western Digital IDE drive. After resuming from hibernation, the IDE drive disappears from the system, and it requires a restart for the drive to reappear in Windows.I did not seem to have this problem until some months ago, so I suspect that a Windows update may have caused the problem. When it first started happening, I could often get the IDE drive back by going into the Device Manager and having it scan for hardware changes. However, that no longer works either.Has anyone else had this problem and have a solution to offer? I prefer to hibernate my PC most of the time to avoid a 2-3 minute boot delay before I can start using Windows.Don1 person needs an answerI do too
