IDE Error #1 problem....

Sep 27th, 2004

I have an HP computer with Windows XP. I turned my computer on and it's giving me an IDE Error #1 message. I can bypass it by hitting F1. How do I fix this problem? I do virus scans regularly, I have Spybot, I do disk cleanups, defragments, basically everything. I don't know what more to do. I do not want to have to reboot my system and lose everything. Someone please help....

Is there more to the error message than "IDE Error #1"? If so, please give us the full and exact text of the error. The more specific you are, the faster we'll be able to help.
