boot problems

[Guest]

my computer been fine since i got it 6months ago

recently its not wanting to find the hard-drive

i find my self rebooting 10-15 times and going into the bios

and messing with some settings finally to be able to get to windows

i have a ibm 15gig 7200 rpm drive

someone please tell me if this is common or if there's a solution

The way I look at it, is if the drive doesn't show up the first time then there is something wrong. I have worked with so many Hard drives and I have never seen a good hard drive do something like that!

I would get the drive replaced ....

Try resecuring the connections to the drive.

The only way to tell for sure would be so swap out the hdd with a known good one,if the other one still does it then its not the Hdd, but it more than likely is, as other posters say, get a new hdd, or it may be a virus, more likely to be the hdd though
