Hi guys,
I have a bit of a strange one here. Sometimes if I put the htpc to (S3) Sleep and wake, the 2nd and 3rd Sata hard drive will disconnect and be unavilable unless I reboot.
It doesn't happen every time, but if you sleep two or three times in a row it normally happens pretty quickly.
The strange thing is, it only seems to happen when XBMC is open. If you boot up, quit XBMC and then sleep/wake it doesn't appear to happen.
It was almost like the drives were being disconnected after it wakes because windows made that hardware removed sound, so I did a registry fix which forced windows to treat all sata ports as fixed and not removable devices. But it didn't fix the problem.
Is there anything that could cause this? I have two htpc's which are almost identical, it only happens to one of them.
