Yesterday night, my house RCD tripped while I'm uploading file to
internet. After recovered PC power, I found that my SATA HDD
disappeared from windows HDD list - other 2 IDE HDD, FDD, DVD drives &
movable drive remained. I opened device manager, selected drives icon
and right clicked on it then forced it to scan for hardware change.
Device manager didn't found the SATA drive.

However, every time I rebooted the PC, BIOS reported existence of the
SATA HDD. I tried connect that SATA HDD to SATA0 then 1 (my gigabyte
motherboard had 2 available SATA ports) of my motherboard. Each time
BIOS could found the HDD drive.

Was my SATA dead ? If no, how could I make XP to discover it again ?
