I have a newer acer laptop, and the hard drive will randomly disappear, i think it may be when i over use the hard disk. the DVD-RW stopped at the same time as the hard drive did. could it be that the sata controller is over heating or that something is being over clocked. it may also be software, but i cant really tell since this is my first real issue with my laptop, when i boot the computer it will pause up if i don't stop the hard disk scan quick enough, and will stop after the vista orb comes up, if i get it past the orb it pauses when i use the drive to much. if i play a game or download a file it just stops, i have done all i can, from use slax on a flash drive to reinstalling windows. if there is a way to fix it, any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
on a side note, does any one know how to get windows XP onto a flash disk to boot up with? that would be helpful if i cant fix my hard disk..
