I have a 500 gb seagate sata harddrive that work before school just fine. But when i turned it on later it wasnt working the bios seas sata dvd but not harddrive, it also dont work on slave. I got it 2 month ago. I checked it on a difrent pc, same result. Whats strange is that both pc's takes almost a minut longer to boot if harddrive is in the pc's. The drive didnt show any warning sighns. Help

I'm not sure why you are talking about "slave" as SATA drives don't use slave/master. Anyhow, try just connecting power to the drive. Does it spin up? Does it click or make any other weird sounds?

Reseat cables maybe. Be sure to turn off computer and unplug. Then press power button a few times.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
