Sounds like the hard drive is starting to go. Is it making any noise?
No nothing abnormal at all. Actually I have two 500Gb SATA drives in this machine. The primary one has a 25Gb root partition with the rest as "Home" and the other HDD as backup.
Based on your comment I will copy the latest backup onto a DVD and DD the primary drive to the secondary one, then make it the boot drive. I'll report back.
Thanks:

Hi Guys,
An annoying issue has appeared ! I'm running Q4OS, Trinity Desktop on an AMD dual core machine with 2Gb ram and 500Gb HDD.
Problem: On boot up, maybe every second or third time, I get a black screen with "[*** ] Start job running - ~0.XX seconds. 1:30." If I Ctrl Alt Del the machine restarts with the same screen and message. If I let it continue, I then get a page of text with "Ctrl D" to continue, "Or enter Root Password to Login" Using "Ctrl D" everything just stops and I have to hard boot the machine, It then goes back to the start job again. If I login with the root password, I get pages and pages of what I think maybe logs. At the end of this if I "StartX" I get my normal desktop. At this point if I logout and hard boot the machine, everything comes up as normal.
I haven't a clue what is going on here... Help !
Thanks Guys:
Best Regards: Baron
