I was using an MSI Kt3 Ultra-Aru until I recently got an Asus A7n8x Dlx.

I put in the new board..and freshly installed XP Pro.

Here is my problem.

I have 2 HD's.

2 identical Maxtor 40 Gbs

one contains the OS and the other contains ALL my personal stuff.

The OS is on the MAster BOot up drive and the other is slave on the same channel. The other channel on the motherboard is connacted to a CD-RW and a DVD.

At first everything was great. Everything was perfect until the other day when my second HD dissapeared. Im serious it just dissapeared.

So I unPlugged it and then plugged it back. It would still not appear under My Computer. I could see it in the BIOS. I could even see it in Computer Management under Administrative Tools. Yet it does not show up under My Computer.

ive been tryin to figure this out for a week now!
It hurts coz I do not have a back of my stuff on that drive.. my 3 gigs of photography

Whats a relief though is that at least it say that roughly 7 Gb is in use..which is approxiamtely how much i have used up..
