I have a AT clone machine.  Lately, I start receiving "Disk boot failure" msg.
after power on.  I can boot from F/Disk all the time, but not from H/Disk.
I have run test program against the controller, it seems okay.

If I remove the FD/HD controller and put it back in, I can boot from H/Disk.
But after couple boots, the msg. come back again.  I am sure there are no chancethat controller is not connect to the M/B well, but I can not explain why it is happening.

Any idea may help.   Thank you in advance.
