Missing Harddrives on boot

[Azel]

Im sure there's a simple solution to this but when i booted the computer this morning i got "Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter!!!".

I thought oh god not again...it's a new build. Anyways, rebooted and went into bios and noticed that only 1 of my 4 hd were being recognised and obviously the hd which the computer boots from wasn't one of them. Hmmm, so opened up the case. Checked everything was still plugged in etc.

I then decided to flick the switch on the psu to off for 30 sec's. Switched back on and rebooted. Looked back in the bios and all 4 hd's were there. Rebooted again and computers running fine.

So, im wondering what was the problem?

You'll probably never know, now.

You're not the first - and you won't be the last, to experience an intermittent problem like that, which somehow manages to resolve itself, without any user intervention whatsoever?

The 'joys' of computing, eh :D
