I built my own system a few months ago. Randomly my system will shut down, or on a fresh restart, and the hard drive will not be recognized. I will ask for a system disk but instead I; alt+ctrl+del until it finds the hard drive. Then I will boot Vista in normal mode until a few days or hrs later when it does this again.
My question is: will I need to buy a new hard drive? Will I have to buy a new version of Vista because I got the one with a single install? Is there any other possible explinations for what is going on? Anything for me to do for troubleshooting?
Is this the correct area for this post?
