Hi,

Someone at malwareremoval.com refered me to this sight. I normally keep my computer on all the time. When I do restart it, it has been having trouble booting and asks for the system disc. I can then insert the disc, ask it to do a repair, and then the computer will start fine for a while. As I said, I don't restart very often, so after a repair from the disc if may work great for 2 to 5 restarts over a time of 1 week to 6 or 8 weeks. Once it won't start back up once, it will not start again until it has the disc, so it is not random..

I had it checked for a virus that might do this and that was not it. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi and


My first diagnostic approach would be to run your hard drive manufacturers diagnostic tool.

This will be a boot floppy or a boot ISO CD that you can download from the manufacturers web site.

If you do not know your manufacturer look in the Device Manager under Disk drives.

You can open the Device Manger by right clicking My Computer then click Manage then Device Manager.

If you do not have a floppy drive and are not familiar with ISO creation you can download this free ISO burner which will add the option to "Create Disk Image" to your right click menu or shell.

If your hard drive passes the manufacturers tests we can move on to the possible software issue of rebuilding your Boot sector.
