Solve : SATA HDD disappeared?

1.	Solve : SATA HDD disappeared?
Answer» Yesterday night, my house RCD tripped while I'm uploading file to internet. After recovered PC power, I found that my SATA HDD disappeared from WINDOWS XP HDD list - other 2 IDE HDD, FDD, DVD drives & movable drive remained. I opened device manager, selected drives icon and right clicked on it then forced it to scan for hardware change. Device manager didn't found the SATA drive. However, every time I rebooted the PC, BIOS reported existence of the SATA HDD. I tried connect that SATA HDD to SATA0 then 1 of my gigabyte GA-8S655FX(-L) motherboard (my motherboard had 2 available SATA ports). Each time BIOS could found the HDD drive. Was my SATA dead ? If no, how could I make XP to discover it again ?Verify Windows has the correct SATA DRIVER installed.Irrelevant, the SATA HDD worked normal before the incident!How is it irrelevant? It wouldn't be the first time a driver got corrupted by a power outage.Hook up the SATA into a known WORKING machine to see if it works...
