I had a similar case with ide after leaving Windows 98 on after
playing Siedler and there it deletet drive completly (no more windows
on the drive :). Windows 98 went into suspend mode and after that the
drive was dead. Not even the controler was found (also the CDrom was
gone).
Partitioning and formating the drive under dos brought it back under
linux.
We are not alone :)
