Seagate SATA not recognized by BIOS

I have 2 of these drives that are identical. They both were working just fine, but now only one is recognized by my computer's BIOS. Any ideas what may have happened to it?

Re: Seagate SATA not recognized by BIOS

I bit the bullet and bought a new drive. So the drive was definitely the problem. Any magic ways to resuscitate the drive? It never made any bad noises and is fairly new.

Hello and welcome...
If you have a warranty on that HDD, take it back and get a new one...
