"D" drive disappeared...

[sundance]

Nothing of any signifcance happened... just logged on and th
"D" drive was not there any more. Device manager sees it
and says it is working properly; however, when I go to "m
computer" it is not there, and I cannot access any of the file
on it. This drive has been working fine since I installed it, about
months ago. It is a Maxtor 80G. Running XP home.

Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

sundance,

Have you tried accessing via "DOS prompt"?

probably your data cable faulty or come loose, shut down and take the cable
out and re-attach it to the hard-drive
