Help
Running 2k w/ APM support (no ACPI because of chipset issues) after the HDD's power down (after 10 min as I have set it) when they are started, they go into a 'loop' pattern of trying to start, then stop over and over. Usually I have to force a reset to get out of it, but sometimes I can get Task Mamanger uip and it seems to keeps the drives up and running.
I know if I set the drives to 'never' would solve the problem, but that isn't what I want to do, nor is it a real 'fix'!
ACPI was changed over to APM because of issues between 2k's ACPI mode and the Ali V chipset. Again this is 2k w/sp3 installed and regular ATA33 IDE drives on the same channel.
I hope that made sense.......any ideas??

Then u should try to update to latest first....cuz BIOS updates can fix a lot of ACPI related problems.
