The Logic Off Topic list

Hello,
          I'm having a problem with my IBM Deskstar 20gig drive. My computer
won't regognize it. I've had the hard drive for about 2 years with no
problems. Over the past couple of months every once in a while the hard
drive wouldn't get noticed at boot-up. After a cold boot it would usually be
o.k. The problem seems to get worse with time and today I can't get the hard
drive to be noticed at all. I've tried a cold boot, entering the bios,
taking the hard drive out (it's in a removable tray) and nothing is working.
I haven't noticed any weird sounds coming from my computer, but it's in a
closet so I don't really hear it much. I just derfagged it the other day and
it appeared o.k. There have been a few times where SX or Logic crashed
because it appeared te hard drive disapeared.
         Any suggestions? I didn't just lose my drive did I? Thanks!!
