If the drive sometimes appears and sometimes does not, then it's most likely
that the drive itself is bad and in need of replacement. It could also be caused by a bad or loose cable connecting the drive to the motherboard, or a bad or loose power cable on the drive, or a defective motherboard. -- Richard G.
