Hard drive sometimes found - sometimes not
My backup drive is a 500GB WD and has experienced no issues at all until I deleted one partition and resized the remaining one with (Partition Wizard 8). I thought it a bit odd when PW reported a 31MB unallocated space remaining, but on reboot the BIOS detected the drive and in Windows all the files on the resized partition were present.
A subsequent reboot and the drive is not found again. Nothing has physically changed inside the case. Any ideas on might be going on?
