OP
Ok, I have figured out that I only get this error in Win 2k . I have Millennium dualbooted and this problem never occurs. Should i run another clean install of 2k ?
 
 
ANY!!!! help is appreciated. Sparkhard

yeah you will probably have to but try and recreate the error. It sounds like your IDE controllers and Win2k arent getting along too well.
