Re: Hard drive grates on start up

Haaa...A Mount Man

If you are booting to the 'Welcome' screen then the Desktop, that's the way Xp does it; however, go into User Accounts from the Control Panel > change the way that users log on and off > uncheck the box Use the Welcome Screen > reboot the computer.

Now if you have 2 HDD's then I'd recommend getting the diagnostic tools from both manufacturers. (Open the case up, without the power on of course, and read who the manufacturer is of the HDD.)

Kind Regards,
