Hi interpreter,
From your description I understand that the Hard Drive is getting detected intermittently and hence the computer is not booting successfully on every power-on/restart. Recommended solution for this situation is to release any "Flea Power" stored in the computer and then check. To release "Flea Power" disconnect the power cord and any peripherals attached to the computer, press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then release. Connect the power cord, monitor, keyboard and mouse only and check if you can successfully boot to Windows. If the issue still persists, take a technician's help or refer to the Service Manual here and re-seat the Hard Drive.
Note: please go through the "Before Working on Your Computer" section of the manual before you open the chassis.
Do reply with results.
