its driving me nuts.

heres my problem: storage ata hard drive wont allow computer to boot. It sits at the loading bar (screen) forever. I take it out and everything boots right up. Master/slave is set up properly. BIOS recognizes the drive. It worked fine before and now suddenly it doesn't. I bought an external enclosure for it and windows sees it and installs the driver while it goes about "searching preconfigured driver folders". After it finishes nothing shows up in my computer. I tried this on an xp32, vista 32 and vista 64 and it never shows up. Its driving me insane. Never experienced this before.

Is the hard drive dead? Is there any way to get my computer to see it?
 
thanks for the reply. I'll try a couple of those. I am pretty sure the drive is dead and started an RMA with seagate.
