My four year old 27gb drive suddenly stopped responding. I rebooted and the bios didn't even recognize it anymore. To eliminate an IDE control card issue I placed it in a different computer system and its bios too could not recognize it. The drive does spin up and doesn't make any weird noises -- just the bios doesn't know it's there. Jumper settings are all correct. Do I have any hope of getting this working again? I assume any hard drive recovery programs would be useless since the system doesn't even know the drive is there.
