Problem With Desktop Pc Booting

[nrmehta5]

Dear Sir,
I have following configuration of Desktop pc.
Processor - P - IV Intel
HDD 80 GB X2
RAM - 256
Recently, I started getting "IDE Driver loading error"
Please Change Slave IDE to master.System halt.
Some time it works normal,some time it gives above error,and
booting not possible.
During control +alter+ delete and restart "F2" gives response all time,but F8 or F11,
come in lne rarely.
My computer repairer says your BIOS has been corrupted and need replacement.
Can you please advise me in the matter?
Regards,
N.R.Mehta

Is this message shown by BIOS(before windows loads) or Windows(after it starts loading)?

Had you tempered with the hardware? Try to disconnect and then connect the IDE cable. If this does not help then I think you can't do anything else other than get the PC to your PC vendor.

The Message Comes Before Windows Loading And When This Message Is There Windows Neverr Gets Loaded.

Yes I Have Added One More Hdd

IT IS BEFORE WINDOWS START. THE MESSAGE IS IN RED FONTS, IF IT IS THERE COMPUTER NEVER GETS STARTED.

SURPISINGLY SOME TIMES FOR SOME DAYS IT WORKS QUITE NORMAL WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.

This problem may be caused by loose/faulty cable. Please check if disconnecting+reconnecting cable helps; if not, change the cable and see the result; if still result is the same, only then restore/update the BIOS; and in case even that does not help, then get the hard drive to auth. service centre (assuming HDD under question is under warranty). BTW is it the newer drive which is having problem?

EDIT: For further assistance, also give details of motherboard + HDD (size, interface etc.)

I REMOVED DRIVE CABLE AND IT HAS STARTED WORKING OK.
ALSO IT WAS SUGGESTED TO USE 80 COLUMN PRE-FAB CABLE FORM DRIVES TO MOTHERBOARD .I DONOT KNOW MUCH ABUT IT.

nops i dnt think this will be the problem...coz most of the times i have seen whenever there is loose in cable connection between hard disk..u will get message something like NO DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK BOOT!!!
