    pc boots, fails to find boot media, restart solves it?

    Anyone got any idea on this one, father in law asked me to look at his pc,

    The pc will boot into windows fine but only if it is restarted after failing to find boot media?

    I've looked into the bios, updated the bios and still the problem persists?

    Any clue?

    Cheers!

    Is the drive reporting any SMART issues? And I assume you've checked the boot order?

    I did, it would seem to be that sata port! After changing the sata port it worked fine, both port 0 and 1 seem to have issues, sometimes they work sometimes they wont, odd! but either way problem is now solved
