Occasionally, usually after restarting my PC went get past checking IDE master 1.
The text for it comes up and then there is just one '.' and no more.
I haven't found a fix for this and I don't know what is causing it. I have 2 hard drives and one optical all plugged into SATA.
Leaving it for a few hours, unplugged at mains seems to sort it out.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
