Maximum PC

I'm replacing my PSU and I notice my one drive is not showing up in BIOS so I get into it and notice, compared to the other drives.....the freakin thing is REALLY hot like you can cook an egg on it. The underside of it. I plugged it into a connection electrice and SATA that I knew worked and not only did it NOT show up in BIOS but it felt WAY too hot.

It's only like a year old and barely has been touched. Any ideas??

Sorry.

It's a freakin WD Caviar Green which I got so it would NOT run hot, spin less and I don't know what happened. Can't run anything on it cause BIOS doesn't recognize it.

LOTS of media and stuff on this drive, I lose this and I lose a lot. There's a Computer House around the corner, $80/hr, might drop it off to those guys but only for an hour. If they're so good and they can't figure it out in less than an hour than they aren't worth more than one hour.

I used an electrical connection and SATA connection that just showed to be pefectly fine, drive showed up and everything so I unplugged and plugged in this drive......nothing AND the bottom got WAY too hot to the touch. Don't know what to do.

Define "hot". Because 40C is normal operating temperature for a hard drive with reasonable airflow.
