Ok so recently (starting last week) my computer has had serious issues booting up after 1. being shut down 2. waking from sleep, and 3. waking from hibernate.

1. After shutting down I will get a disk read error or a Please insert proper boot media.

2. The computer will wake up from sleep and then freeze about 30 seconds later (causing me to restart and get the issue mentioned above. Then it will say resuming windows (as if coming out of hibernate) and get stuck a black screen with the mouse causing a restart. This is after a few attempts at getting it to boot from a hard shut down.

3. I get the same errors as the shut down.

The only solution I have found is to use the Windows disk to "repair" it. I have to do this everytime.

Does anyone one know how to fix this? And BTW I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit
 
Sounds like you have a bad HDD.
Run the manufacturer diagnostic long test and report back
 
It's a Seagate that I bought back in August (check my sig) and it passed the long test. BTW it never crashes once its booted into windows (unless I do one of the above actions)
 
You could make an image, then delete the partitions and do a full format so that bad sectors get reallocated, and do a restore.

I dont really know what else to tell ya.
