I was playing around with my overclocks on my P4 2.8c and I was in the process of doing some stability tests. When I tried to run Counter Strike: Source, I got this error saying that the counter strike something blah blah.ink file was missing so I went to look for it. I go to My Computer and all of sudden my hard drive is missing!

I have a Western Digital 60 gb HDD 7200 rpm PATA serving as the system hard drive and a 160 gb Samsung 7200 RPM SATA hard drive serving as storage for EVERYTHING else. The WD has ONLY my operating system on it. I had my samsung partitioned into 3 different drives. 2 were split and a 3rd served as a 1 gb page file. But now both of these drives are gone. I have tried system restoring to no avail.

Is there anyway at all I can get my drive back? It isn't even being detected in the device manager...
 
Is it detected in CMOS? Have you checked to see if both the power and data cables are secure?
 
I'm not sure exactly what happened but I resolved it. I shut down my computer, pulled the sata cable out from the mobo and started it. Shut down again, plugged it back in, and start up. Poof, it's here again. :cool:
 
heheheh... that was funny.

glad you solved it though.. maybe it was just a loose connection.
 
Well it was weird because I was running programs from my "Everything else that is not the operating system" drive just a few seconds before it disappeared on me.
