this box is getting very weird how can one loss internal hdd and only usb seen in mounts ,rebooted and now visible lol

Also have this issue can someone look into it.

You might like to try manually selecting the mount point (even if you are setting it to the "default") in the settings.

On my box the USB drive could occasionally end up being seen first at boot time, and this meant it ended up with the device that was normally allocated to the hdd. So I had a USB drive mounted as /media/hdd, and no hard-drive mounted.

If you configure them manually then the mounting is done based on the UUID of the partition, which isn't affected by device order and so is not sensitive to response timings at boot-up.

Sorry what do you mean manually selecting it i think i have it set this way going to mount manager and setting usb to media/usb and hdd to media/hdd?

That souns like it. That will mean you have lines like this:

UUID=9C44-07B8  /media/usb      vfat    defaults        0 0
UUID=75a26202-818f-441f-bfd2-b94134d0eef0       /media/hdd      auto    defaults0 0

at the end of the /etc/fstab file.
If you've already done that then I don't have any other ideas - other than the HDD fails to spin up sometimes, which (I suppose) might happen if you have a power supply that is near the (lower) voltage limits.
