Use the Hdd manufacturer utility to determine if drive, drives are bad.
May be a virus attacking boot sector, but more than likely a loose
connection or bad drive.

Find out who made your drive/drives. Download there diagnostic tool,
probably a floppy, best for you. This will let you know the state of drive.
All makers of drives will give this for free. As far as I know. You will
have to boot to the tool ie floppy disk. Make changes in bios for boot
order if needed.

How old is the drive? Might be under warranty, call WD, or go to website
support section, maybe you can d/l and try a different version of utility.
