I'm having this same problem, I'll be going along fine then both my
drives on my main IDE controller just disappear. (My windows drive is
SATA), but my 2nd IDE controller keeps working just fine (all it has
is my DVD burner on it)

I found that If I didn't use that window slideshow for photos, it quit doing
it. But Non the less, I had to go back to XP which Vista wouldn't let me
install either. I had to reformat everything back to factory defaults with XP

I'm not using the slideshow, but I do have the sidebar on. Do you have
your sidebar completely off, or just have the slideshow disabled?
