Master IDE not found???

This has happened to me a few times now and is getting really annoying. My computer will freeze, and when I restart it it can't find the primary IDE drive!! I go into the bios and it can't even find it there? I pulled the IDE cable for my secondary slave drive and restart and it finds all my IDE devices and will work fine from then on, until this problem happens again. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it my bios, is it a virus, is something in my system going bad? I really hope some of you can help. Thanks in advance, this is really annoying.

What I have:

Abit KT7 Raid MB
AMD 1.0 GHz CPU
(2) HP CDRW
(2) 30 GB Maxtor 7200 RPM HD's
Windows XP
 
do you have the raid set up for the mirror mode? Or dual write or something? What are you doing with that? And how do you have your cables connected? Are they secure? In what order on the cable are your HD's and CDROM's connected?
