Subject: Re: Help. I think my boot sector craped out
I'm only seeing the usb disk being probed - no other ata devices.
Either it came unplugged or yes, died finally.

You can check the bios and see if it sees the disk, maybe make sure that
the right devices are enabled in there. Probably plan on a new disk
however.
