Strange Problem...

[Shardik]

Every time my computer goes to sleep it forgets one of the CD drives when it wakes up.

Running Vista 64 on an Asus M3N-HT Deluxe Board with an AMD 9950 and 4 gigs 1066 DDR2 RAM.

I have to reboot to get Vista to find it again and then no problem.

Has anyone else run into this? I can't decide if it's a MB BIOS or OS problem.

1. OS

2. Well since the sleep settings are a shared

function between the BIOS and OS it could be either. Try this fix http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929461/en-us

Also I have seen some intel chipsets causing this issue. The Vista thing was fixed sometime during or before SP1

3. Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

4. I think I may have found the problem.

I use Windows OneCare and it cleans the disks automatically on a predetermined schedule, when it does, it turns off the "hibernation" feature which, since it is coupled with the bios, only halfway turns it off and ends up dicking around with drive recognition. I have a non-standard setup and I'm sure that is part of the problem, but to fix it, I need to bring up the command prompt in admin and turn hibernation back on.

Odd. and I hope they get this bug fixed before too long.
