i was busy watching a movie from one of my hdd's.The movie freezed,and i went to go look wahts up.
I went into mycomputer and i saw the hdd just vanished,i only see my other 2 hdd's,but the 3rd one is missing,no icons nothing?.
i try to play the file thats stored in the playlist and vista says file dont exist on the pc...:(.

I am gonna restart and see if it will magicaly reappear...weird.:cool:
 
It is weird yes. I would suspect the worst though should that ever happen to me...
 
Last time that happened to me, I became extremely depressed due to losing 300gb of data.

If, some how, you are able to access that hdd again, get everything off it, immediately. It is about to die.

Make backups as soon as possible, scratching noises are signs of imminent, violent and destructive hardware failure :eek:
 
Hmm, I feel your pain ... plugged my 500Gb SATA into the USB port this morning, and XP reckons me it doesn't know what device it is :eek:

It's got all my photos and music on :(
