RE: Windows, Hard disk problem. my comps on deathbed!
I had problems like that too..Windows not detecting second HDD...then finally it stopped recognising it in total and i got a booterror on restart...
Then suddenly windows loaded normally again after turning it off and on again. So i went and bought a second HDD (certainly the HDD had died) and put that in. Next day Windows didn't recognize my second HDD again (the new one uhuh!!!), so i thought how about the IDE cable? I replaced that one and sofar so good.
I too suffer from a slow computer...still...
Seeing from what you've tried i fear a reformat and reinstall of Windows is needed...and possibly replacing the IDE cable.
