disappearing hard drive?

[danielwalding]

Hi there,

I turned on my computer yesterday and my secondary hard drive (250gb Sata) isn't showing up on 'my computer' and all the links to the drive aren't working. I have never seen anything like this and i'm a bit stuck about what to do? anyone got any suggestions? could this mean the hard drive has failed? its only a few months old as well.

any help would be appreciated

thanks, dw

It could mean that the drive has failed.

It could also mean that the motherboard port has failed, or that the power supply to the drive has failed, or that a cable has come unplugged . . .
