Thanks for the reply PC Guy.
Bit of a strange one this. I tried my master drive in another PC and still it was'nt detected. I then tried new cables swap drives around and still nothing. Fearing both drives had died I purchased a new drive and,thankfully, this was'nt being detected either so I guess it must be something else. I decided to check my BIOS and selected IDE devices. I then cycled thorough the options ,USER etc and I came to AUTO and as if by magic my drives specs suddenly appeared. IT HAD DETECTED IT!!! Everythings working fine now. Have'nt got a clue what had happened or why but just glad I got my system back.
