try loading your bios and seeing if they register in your hardware section if not u may have issues with the sata cable and/or power probs. i think it too big a coincidence for them both to disappear!

made a mistake been so long since i put it in , it is one drive partitioned .
Changed cords etc , says Hard drive recognized , hitashi ATA Device .
Think it may have died .

I had a few hitachi's die on me. Had some laptop size ones last through some incredible abuse though... I think one of us, booGz maybe is into data recovery, he might have some more info for ya.

Theres no icons in Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management
and i cant do a system restore so i may have a virus thats the cause , reformat time .

Classic symptoms of a Russian gay porn site virus.
Sounds like format time to me too.
