Slave hard drive not recognized

Hello,
WDC WD102BB Hard Drive (Slave) was recognized and working until I powered back up. The Device Manager shows it but not in (My Computer)

Did you previously format the drive?

 

[kyoshi59]

Yes>I formatted the drive before I used it as a slave. It worked for a few days and I had powered off a number of times. And it was there until the last day when it did'nt show up in My Computer as I powered back on. I have'nt added any new programs or hardware. (Scratching my head)..........
