My reliable old P3 has gone funky. For more than half the boots the BIOS doesn't detect the hdd.
I've swapped drives, cables, and switched between primary and secondary IDE. Drives are set up as simple solo master.
ASUS P3B-F rev1.03
WD Caviar 700 and 640MB
Drives were DBAN'd and tested a year ago. Last use of the P3 was as a DBAN station for more drives when I cleaned out the closet. Before that several years as a primary, then secondary machine, then retirement to test box.
I'm not sure what to do next other than full retirement.
EDIT - tried another PSU. Same deal.
