Everytime windows updates tells me to restart,or a newly installed program requires a restart,my hard drive fails to start up..But if I do a manual restart it boots up in seconds..Its only just started happening. The company tech team told me to do a recovery but that hasn't solved it. I'm afraid that each time I have to reset my system (I get the start windows normally screen) it will damage the hard drive !! Can anyone help ?

Do you mean the computer fails to boot when restarted, or the computer posts but the hard drive doesn't spin up? Do you have a branded PC like Dell, HP, etc. or a white box? Does Vista have SP1 installed?
