Could also have been a loose cable. Completely unplug (both ends) all the cables, and then plug them back in. I've had cables come loose over the years, especially back in the IDE days. It's easy to overlook, because the cables can look like they're properly seated.

- theandrewbailey 7y agoI've had it happen to me a few times with SATA cables that don't have a clip (or the socket can't use it, like before SATA 300). IDE sticks in there so well that I think I'm going to damage something when pulling a cable out.
