Not related
Unfortunately, I do not think the problems are related - I have suffered from both of them.
I believe the HAL problem is nothing to worry about as described in the above article.
My guess is that you are using ahci on a p35 or p45 based system. In this case, there is no set order for the drives to come into the system as the are plug and play. There is a bug (I read about in one of the technet articles) that basically causes a second drive to disappear if it comes up first (before the drive with the OS).
The work arounds that I have found are. 1. run the drive in IDE mode, or 2. use the intel matrix controller to manage the drives.
The can also manifest itself as a bsod on resume if the paging file is on the disappeared drive.
good luck.
