Solid State Hard Drive compatibility

Hello All,

I have a 16 GB Solid State Hard Drive and for some reason after a couple of
weeks when I reboot it goes to a blinking cursor in the top left corner or
sometimes it will give an error like NTLDR missing or corrupt. Here is the
scoop on the config and what I have done up to this point.

16 GB Solid State Hard Drive IDE connector
Windows XP SP2 all up to date
Used FDisk
Used Format Utility
Used a couple different Windows Disks
Used a couple different 16 and 8 GB Solid State Flash Drives
Used a couple of different mother boards

All the above leads to the same failures, It may take a little longer in
some cases but at this point the verdict is the same. Thank you for your
assistance,

Hello blacksheep_796,

I wonder how it relates to .NET?

I think his point was that this is a newsgroup for discussing software
development using Microsoft's .NET Platform, and your question appeared to
relate to a PC not booting - so you are basically asking in the wrong place.

This is a Visual Studio .NET programming group. You are unlikely to get
answers to hardware questions here.
