Hi,

 

The first thing I'd suggest would be to run a diagnostic on the HDD - Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Select the Bios option ( f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on the Hard Drive.

 

The main reason for suggesting this is that there seems to be some correlation between the spontaneous appearance of a bios password and a failing HDD.

 

Regards,
