We have a "Hybrid" Notebook computer in our office that on ocassion when you switch it on comes up with the messages "Operating System Not Found". On shutting down and waiting a few seconds before turning the computer back on it will boot up normally. Can anyone explain why this is happening and how i can resolve it. Thanx :)

1) Use "scandisk" command to eliminate the harddisk problems. Then use defragment to ease the possible wrong links.
2) Any loosen parts or overheating ?

Remove the harddisk from the notebook, clean the "contacts" at both sides (harddisk and inside the notebook), return the harddisk...
Looks alike a "bad" contact.
At your service.

Sounds like the hard disk is not spinning up in time from cold boot. Have a look in the bios and see if any power management is enabled for the disk. If so, disable and see what happens.
