Disk Warrior can't find my HDD even tho I can boot successfully from HDD

I have a beloved iMac purchased in 3/08. I believe its hard drive is failing b/c sometimes when I turn it on, all goes smoothly while other times, it either won't boot up or hangs. After spending $110 on Disk Warrior, I just rebooted from the Disk Warrior disk so that it can rebuild the directory of the HDD. To my shock and dismay, Disk Warrior can't find any disk other than itself. Why in the world would it not find the HDD if I can in fact successfully boot up from the HDD and run fine (at times)? HELP!
