Hard drive not found...

[Artex]

Ok I have two hard drives on one ide channel. Up until last night it worked fine. Then on one reboot, the bios couldnt find either hard drive. So I unplugged my secondary drive, bios finds the first no prob. Plug secondary back in, neither are found. Please tell me its not my hard drive.

Try clearing CMOS and reboot. But first, make sure one HD is set as Master and the other as Slave.

All the jumpers are correct. It just happened after working like this for months. I'm just hoping its a bios thing, and not my hard drive. Gonna update bios after work.

Sounds like something has come loose or unseated.

This is what happened to me>
Trying to set up a fax program from within windows. Click a button & the modem disappeared. Was dual booting at the time so went to 98 & the modem was gone from there too. Took the cover off the case, took the modem out, put it back, problem solved. Very wierd indeed.
