Man, I about freaked tonight. I was going to go to my secondary drive for something, and damn, it wasn't there! I rebooted like 3 times, even checked cmos, and it didn't show my secondary drive at all!!! I had resigned myself to the fact I had lost everything important including pictures of my daughter.
I even tried putting it on a different IDE, checking power, everything, and nothing... until- I hard powered it off with the rocker on the back. When I powered it back on, last ditch effort, I checked cmos, and boom, both drives there! I went back in windows and everything was still there.
Needless to say after this, I am backing that drive up to my C drive post haste- I have learned my lesson good. One would think I would have learned when my office HD went out recently, and I lost some stuff there.
This time, I am learning good. Backup backup backup. Now, anybody got a valium? Whew.
