Double check the jumper settings - it sounds like you may have set it slightly wrong if the drive has "dis-appeared".

Also, in windows if you can see the drive in Computer Management then un-install it and re-boot. Windows should re-install it by itself

Does the drive even start up when you switch the PC on?

Sounds like your drive could be dead

Is it still under guarantee ? If it is then throw it back to the retailer asap!
