Hi all, just wondering what could cause my computer to not detect my its harddrives one time and then be able to detect them other times, apart from loose connections (those are simple to sort if it is).

When you boot up your computer, your hard drive should be listed next to"Primary Master"(ATA drive) or next to "RAID Controller" (SATA drive). If it isn't there and thhe connections are secure, you probably have a faulty hard drive. If the boot stops at the verifying DMI pool data stage its the connections or a configoration problem.
