Would anyone recommend that I just format the machine again and install Unbuntu as the OS? If the problem is hardware related, that won't solve the problem, will it? Fortunately, I do have the latest version, 10.10. I managed to download and burn it to a CD when the computer was working alright.

For what it is worth, unless ubuntu is running the 'live' version from memory, then you won't be able to install ubuntu without it finding a hard drive

To me, when you say that 'when the computer is working alright', sounds to me that it maybe a mobo fault or the lead to the hard drive is loose and needs to be attached properly to the hard drive
