My second HDD, which is my 149GB disk seems to have failed. I know it is working due to the reason it is warm to the touch and has that very small vibration all PATA disks have. It was working yesterday but today the desktop icon has a ? mark by it, it wont show-up in "My Computer" and Speccy can't find it neither, any way to recover my beloved files, or get the disk working again?
UPDATE:
It's okay now, I took out the cables and plugged them back in, so maybe it was loose, when I get a new rig I'll need help setting up a RAID though since this experience made me fear for my files.
