hey
quick question -

how many drives (HDD and DVD/CD Roms) do you have attached to your computer?

what sometimes helps me is remove all the leads from the drives inside the computer, leave it off for about 10mins, then power on, then turn off again when suitable then reconnect drives and try again

works for me sometimes, can't hurt to try!!
