Hercule Piorot-The Case of the Dissapearing Hard Disk....

Can you beat Hercule Piorot and help solve the case of the dissapearing HDD?

It started three days ago, when I booted up it said 'new hardware found' "The disk is not formatted, do you want to format it now?".

Obviously I picked no, and no again. So I rebooted. Then hey presto it was there, good as gold. Then last night I was downloading something to a partition on the drive and all of a sudden it stoped saying 'device is no longer accessible' then when I looked, the hard disk had vanished again.

I have two hard disk units in my machine, an 80gb and a 40 gb. The 40gb is my old one, which is dissapearing. I reboot and its there again for a fair while, say 6 hours, then without warning it just buggers off!.


Any ideas?
Cheers

Sirius
