    Hello I have a DELL E6410 with windows 7

    When ?I restart my laptop or even start it after a shut down, I always get the message that there is no hard drive detected.. it only boot to the windows and log in after several tries and restarts.

    and after that everything will work probably untill the next restart :(

    What is the problem?

    Thanks

    Have you tried running the Dell Diagnostics? Sounds like a bad hard drive..

    Have you tried to reseat your drive?

    Have you tried a known good hard drive and installing an OS on it really quick and see if you can get the same issue reproduced?
