I have a problem with my pc sometimes it will detect my hard drives and sometimes it wont.

I boot my system and press tab to view the post information stuff. And it eithers goes Auto-Detecting Sata 1 & 2 and if i wait it wont detect and it will just do nothing, and i have to restart my system numerous amounts of times till it dectects them.

Any Ideas anyone?

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0Ghz
Memory: Crucial Ballistix DDR2 6400

Either the hard disks aren't properly connected, or there's an issue with your motherboard. Go over your hard disks connections please.
