SATA HDD not detected

[perry_mason_i]

I am using Windows XP Professional edition sp2. I have a 80 GB sata hard drive and a 160 GB sata hard drive. The 80 GB one is detected when i boot up the system and also for some time when the system is up and running. Then when i try to access something on it, Windows stops detecting the drive and it is not visible even in device manager. Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated.
