Hi I have a Dell inspiron 1525 Laptop which for the past few days has started showing some up some problems. Couple of days back while working on it I got a blue screen and then I restarted it. It then while booting up gave me an option to repair something which I didn't select and selected boot normally. However after this I got a message indicating the HDD not detected. After this for long time I continued to get the same message that HDD not detected. Then yesterday after leaving it like that for long time I was able to boot and able to get into the operating system however whenever I opened any app the system started hanging up. Again after restarting it again showed a message that HDD not detected. Finally late last night I was able to boot up and able to work without any issues. However since this is happening on and off I'm not sure what the problem could be? Would it be the operating system getting corrupted or the HDD dying out?

Can someone help?

The SATA IDE cables are loose or atleast the RAM is displaced from its slot. Can you please tell if it tells you to boot from key 'r' ? If it does, clean your laptop,and check the cables and slots one by one. The screen is BSOD. HDD dying is very rare, it still can be the glitch.

This is exactly what my cousin also suggested. Just to remove and check the cables.
It doesn't tell me to boot with R key etc.

Same thing happened with my PC yesterday.
I remove & reinsert the RAM & Reconnect the SATA Cable of hard disk.
then also system not booted.
So i inserted SATA cable on 2nd Port (my motherboard has four SATA port).
then windows started.

If u r using ur laptop for longer duration, then keep it shut down for a while. Sometimes, this kind of problems occur due to heating. The wires need to be in stable temperatures. In my case, i had turned the laptop for a few minutes, & thereafter no problems occurred.
Check if this problem persists & reply back here.

I suggest you to install Tune Up software in your system. After installation scan your system through this software. This software remove unwanted files your system. After complete this process restart your system. It will not again gives you this problem.

Guys the problem has started again. Sometimes I'm getting error indicating HDD not detected. However if I wait and try it seems to work. What can I do? Could this be hardware problem or OS related?

It is a s/w problem first of all you install the graphics driver then it will be OK.
