Hi,

I have met a strange problem last year that meets you description:

The drive had been installed as LBA and later it was recognized
by the bios and installed as something else (which was default)
What happend is that the disk was not accessible. To correct
it I just used another option in the bios autodetect ...

I hope this can help

Alain
