I had a similar problem a few years ago and nothing I tried would show the drive. It was showing in bios, but windows just flat outrefused to recognize it. One day it worked, next it didn't.
I'm a reasonably experienced pc user, no IT guru but can and have solved every problem thrown at me (eventually!), but this one had me stuffed and i was begining to think it was hardware failure but my last resort was to reinstall windows which did the trick.
Probably not the same as your problem but it may be quicker and easier in the end to try a reinstall if you haven't done already.
