My SATA drive is about 6-8 months old. I currently have it connected. It runs fine but sometimes when i boot the computer the drive just doesnt show up. I go into hardware profiles and right click on VIA RAID controller and go to properties and it says This Device Cannot Start. (Code 10) i tried updating, that doesnt work, tried updating with the motherboard cd, doesnt work, and i also tried uninstalling the device, rebooting, then loading up. It installs it and then tells me to restart. When the computer loads and I go to the hardware profile.....IT SAYS THE SAME THING. This is a 320g HDD and i had about 90gigs of games on this thing. Every now and then it will work but arent drives supposed to work ALL THE TIME? This is just annoying since i have to restart and restart the comp until it recognizes my drive.
 
sounds like the BIOS is accessing the HD too soon --
it must wait for the HD to come to full RPM.
usually you can set a delay time in the BIOS.
 
How do i set the delay? i went into the bios and there is nothing like that in there
 
then you're just out of luck -- sorry

if you can get to your S.M.A.R.T. data you might see:

If there is no HDD delay option, then you can play around with other things. Disable quick boot or enable some kind of a diagnostic boot or long memory test.. Anything that would make the computer start up a bit longer.
