Simply stated: when I leave the hard drive outside the cage of the chassis and place it on the bottom of the chassis it works fine. When I place it back into the cage it takes a long time to find the drives, goes to the Windows opening screen and then reboots. It then loops until I turn off power. If I then remove and place it back on the floor of the chassis Windows opens normally. I also should add that when Windows does load successfully and I load a program CD into the Burner, this causes a freeze and then it appears there is corruption of certain windows files on the hard drive after I reboot. I have used Western Digital's Diagnostic Software to repair the drive. Presently, Windows is loading normally (no Event Viewer problems appear) and the hard drive is sitting at the bottom of the chassis.
Any ideas or answers would be appreaciated
