HD not recognized... gone baby. please help?

[chasanova]

My hddd (34.2 GB IBM Deskstar) recently stopped being recognized. I replaced it with another HDD and reinstallled etc, so I am pretty sure the issue is not Connection or Mother Board related. Any chance of being able to recover data off this thing? How do I diagnose it's issues, when the system doesn't even see it?
Many thanks from a NUBEE

I'll start with the obvious... have you installed the "DeathStar" drive as a slave to the system to see if it will be seen?
