Hi.

I have on my computer two harddrives, one for program files and shiz, and on the other one i usually have games and crap. When i went on my computer this morning i found that my computer only found one of the two harddrives. I rebooted a couple of times, since this have happened tto me before, and it was usually enough to just reboot, but this time it didn't work. So i decided to reformat my computer, since it really needed it anyways. After i was reformating it could not still detect it.
Any ideas?

I use Vista Ultimate 32-bit

1, the drive may have failed
2. the data cable may have failed
3. the power cable to the drive may have failed

I suggest you disconnect both cables, reconnect them using different MB connectors and/or power connectors, and then try rebooting.

Good Luck
