- HDD 1: Not working
- HDD 2: Working
I accidentally disconnected the SATA to motherboard cable, with the power suply cable still attached (from HDD 1). It crashed my Ubuntu, and when I connected the SATA cable back to HDD 1, it doesn't work.
The computer can't see any of my HDDs, but when I disconnect the SATA HDD 1 cable again, it sees my other drive (HDD 2)!
HDD 1 is making a spinning noise.
Just as a comment, SATA supports hotplug per spec and it's unlikely that the drive was damaged. I did that several times myself and everything has worked fine. – whitequark – 2010-11-30T18:06:05.973
