Did you recently upgrade to XP?
Do you use a fast harddisk with still the old 40-wire flat cable instead of the newer 80-wire ones?

 

[Steve05]

Nope...i use xp from the beginning...
i'm not sure for the 2nd question....how to check?

The wires are much finer, but this will be difficult to judge unless you have a 40 wire to compare. However the 80 wire jobs have a blue connector at the motherboard end and a grey and a black connector for the devices.

okay..then i use a fast harddisk with still the old 40-wire flat cable ...and then..?

No, the old 40 wires is 2 times slower than 80 wires. grab those 80 wires IDE cable for around 10 dollars or less.

okay..i bought the 80 wires IDE cable....but what is this all about? Is this related with my problem?

 

[RealBlackStuff]

The main cause for your PC's error is having the wrong or a faulty IDE-cable.
