When I reboot, before Windows loads, I get the following message "Drive 5 not found: parallel ATA, PATA-1 (PRI IDE Slave) Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the set up facility".
If I then strike the F1 key Windows loads apparently as normal. The question is: should I be worried? Grateful for any advice.
Could be a problem with your CD/DVD drive, check see if that still works first.
You could be right! Can't even open it. Hadn't noticed before so thanks!
