Hard Drive detected by BIOS not XP

I have a secondary hard drive (Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120GB ATA/133 HDD) that suddenly can't be detected by XP, but is detected by the BIOS. Current setup was working for several months, until I restarted it one day and suddenly Windows can't detect it anymore.
It seems that there's something wrong w/ the drive's partition. Is there a way to fix the partition without losing all the data? (I tried Partition Magic but since XP wasn't detecting the drive anyway, I couldn't use the program).
