Hello,
I have a brand new system consisting of an ASUS M5A-97 AM3+ MB, AMD FX-4170 CPU, 2x2Gb of Kingston DDR3 and a Seagate 2 TB SATA 6 Gb/sec HDD. I have installed Win XP 32-bit SP2. I currently have the MB configured to access the HDD using IDE mode as there are no native AHCI Win XP drivers. Approximately one time in eight bootups I get the above error message. I press Ctrl-Alt-Del and the system loads normally. I have run the long test in Seatools for DOS three times with NO errors and MemTest also with NO errors. What is going on with this system? Should I endeavour to seek an AHCI XP driver and reload XP?
Thanks.
UPDATE (2013): This is a known issue with the MB and ASUS has provided a BIOS update to resolver this problem for those that continue with this MB using the older IDE hard disk mode. Also, I updated the PC to a Windows 7 64 bit system using AHCI and there was no disk error with this setup.
