Hi!. need some help about my HDD, there are some instances that my HDD cannot be detected by my system. To tweak this problem i have done some measures like reinserting the BUS cable and Power cable and it work for a while. I've look into it that the cause of the problem is loose wiring or insuficiency in power.

My Unit Specs:
Processor- Pentium D 925 3.0Ghz
Mainboard- ECS P4M800PRO-M3
Memory- 1.5GB 533Mhz
Video- GeForce FX5500 256MB
HDD- 250GB Seagate Barracuda
PSU 450W

Windows XP SP2

Thank you.

I've seen intermittent hard drives cause by power supply's in the past.

Could also be a duff drive but that tends to be more obvious, they normally make harsh noises.
