How does Windows lose a hard disk?
I'm running a dual boot system with Ubuntu as the primary boot and Windows as secondary. Windows now refuses to talk to a hard drive that's worked quite happily for the past two years - despite it being recognised by the BIOS and fully accessible by Ubuntu.

The drive is an IDE drive on the primary slave. The IDE drive on the primary master (containing both OSs) is quite happy and runs with no problems.

The only other thing of note is the Hauppauge HVR-1300 that got installed last weekend on Windows. The disk was still accessible on after everything was installed then though. Windows also reports no conflicts and manually checking the resources used for the IDE vs the HVR-1300 don't show any overlaps.

Any thoughts?
