Hey guys, Iv been having a problem with my 2nd hard drive for about a month now. About every 3-5 days when I turn my computer on of a morning the 2nd hard drive wont show up as connected once the computers fully booted up. If I open up the computer and fiddle with the sata cable, then reboot it seems too show up. Sometimes I'll have to do this afew times but eventually it shows up.

So is this my HDD dying or a problem with the cable? The HDD is a 200gb, seagate Barracuda 7200 or something and its about 2-3 years old. My first hdd is the same brand/model but only 80gb and its about 4-5 years old but I have no issues with it at all.

Thank for any help. :)
