HD recognition problem

I'm running a 4PEA+ with most recent bios update, XP Home, SP1 and installed
a WD 250 as an extra drive dedicated to video editing. I did not partition
as I SHOULD have done. All worked fine until I hit about 100 gigs and
rebooted- the drive did not show up again . Disk manager/ storage shows the
drive offline. I have valuable data on that drive that I would like to
retreive. Is there any possible way to fix my problem without loosing my
data and or is there a way to access my data and transfer it to another
drive. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

It sounds like the drive may have went belly up. Remove it and slave it
onto a different computer to check it.
