I dunno if this is the right Forums for a hardware problem, but i've been here before and have gotten help in various areas.
I recently repalced a hard drive ( have had it for 3 years) that had been experiencing the symptom in the subject heading. It got bad enough that one day i lost my partitions. Now i have a 120 GB HDD and today it just experienced this symptom only a few weeks after replacing the old one.
I was wondering what might cause a hard drive to recalibrate. I know it's not the typical "head crash" that you may all be thinking of because i can boot up fine after it happens and no data is missing.
Could it be a lack of power from the PSU? Vibration from fans?
