    Hi,

    A bit offtopic but I've weird boot problems and i know there are people here with knowledge.

    My MacPro most of the time doesn't find my boot drive (Macintosh HD) but once every 20 power off/power on attempts it suddenly sees the disk (I keep option pressed while booting)

    And then it works fine. Is this a sign of a failing bootdisk, or is this the controller?

    Do I need to replace the C: drive or is it the motherboard?

    tnx in advance for any help

    I didn't know Macs had a C drive !?

    You didn't mention which MacPro you have, but if your boot drive we're failing your Mac should notify you.

    Boot on the DVD and go in disk utility to repair your disk and repair permissions
