yep: messed up good this time.

about 5 days ago something went wrong, all I could get was, intel boot log
error, please insert system disk.
after an hour or so tring restarts etc. I gave in to the inevitable, and used the
recovery disks (toshiba xp home edition) wiped out everything, reformated,etc.
now it works, but I still get intermitent erors that cause an automatic restart,
the last one came with a windows report that came back "windows momentarily
could not read hard drive,should not ocour again,contact vender."


if anyone could tell me if its software, hardware, virus, user incompetence,etc.
before I head for the computer store,and the $60 diagnostic.
I would really appreciate it .

thanks,
