Hoping someone can help me. "All of a sudden", when I start, or restart my computer (Dell XPS 400 -- running Windows XP Home), it does not boot comletely, and says I need to press F1 to continue or go to F2 for setup. It also says that Drive 1 not found, Serial ATA, SATA 1 and Drive 3 not found, Serial ATA, SATA 3. Can anyone help me reconfigure so that boot up is smooth again? I have seen people suggest things online, but I'm leary of doing anything. You guys have helped me before with difficulties, and I trust you. So, if you have any ideas, it would be much appreciated.
