Hi oli...

Basically the first thing you need to do is restart...sure it might take '3hours' but it will reconnect all your drives on logon.

the second thing you need to do, is explain why it takes so long to boot up, and we should be able to help you out with that too

hey it takes 3 hours to boot up n i posted on here bout a week ago about it but i didnt hav chance to reply so they declared it fixed lol "http://www.pchelpforum.com/windows-xp/24102-fixed-helllpppp.html"

hey i tried restarting it last night, but it still not showing up, iv taken the side of the case of to make sure its phisicly connected, and when i press the eject button it does work n the lights ther ect. but it just doesnt wanna show in the "my computer" window and it doesnt work with start>>run>>D:\
