Hard not showin up
Ive bought a WD cavier blue hard drive (160GB), installed it and added it as a partition.
After several weeks the partition disappeared from "My Computer" (E:\).
I opened the computer case and replugged the data cable, So it showed up again and worked properlly.
After 2 days it disappeard again, I replugged the data cable again but this time it didnt show up.
Ive changed about 4 data cables and tried plugging them to different SATA ports, didnt help.
I updated my BIOS to the latest version, didnt help.
The hard drive isnt showing up anywhere (Device Manager, Disk Managment, BIOS).
The hard doesnt even show in the WD Data LifeGuard Diagnostic.
The hard drive itself spins up, so i guess its not a power issue.
Im desperate, dont know what to do.
