Sounds to me like your harddisk is broken or faulty... I've had the same problem with a 1.6GB harddisk of mine. When you put a lot of strain on it, it would suddenly disappear (even the BIOS wouldn't find it). After 15 minutes or so, it'd come back... this might also be caused by heat, though. --Rink > > Hello! > > I've been using 4.1.1-RELEASE on my machine.
