I have a weird problem. My PC is still running, boots up, works but is slow. I left for the weekend and when I came back something happend. My HD started running really slow. I noticed a message that wasn't there last week that popped up at boot after IDE auto detect.
"Scan devices, please wait...

WDC WD 2500JS - 55MHB1 - SATA mode
**this next part was written in yellow if that matters**
Press <TAB> key into user window! If you want to install Linux Default partition RAID driver, please do not use OPROM creation operation"
This was Russian to me. I did nothing to the computer at all. My girlfriend did try switching some sound jacks in the back, which I noticed she pulled the sound card out of the PCI slot. Maybe that hit something? I was reading around and I read to try a new ribbon cable, but my cable is only a 1/2 inch wide cable, a SATA serial I think?
In the BIOS in the IDE settings only my DVD writer is shown. My HD is no where to be seen. I can find my HD in the Device manager, but not in the BIOS. I tried switching the IDE settings back to default with no luck, nothing changed. I tried uninstalling the HD driver, rebooted, didn't work. Tried switching the HD from the SATA - 1 spot to the SATA-2 spot. Nothing. The weirdest part is, it still runs. But It takes for ever to load up Windows, and when I play Battlefield 2 it takes about 4x as long as before to start up, not to mention the laoding music plays in slow mo! The game itself glitches a bit when I play, but it's still playable. I didn't do any of this when I left Friday. I heard somewhere that maybe when the PCI sound card came out that she could have grounded the motherboard? I have no idea! Any suggestions would help! Thanks
