Hello, May I suggest you turn on S.M.A.R.T in your BIOS. This feature will watch you hard-drive to see if it is starting to fail. When the fault happens again, I would check to see if the S.M.A.R.T. feature is reporting problems with the device. I am not suggesting this is an HD problem, however based upon what you have stated above I would also not rule it out.
If you have any critical data on this drive I would be sure to backup immediately. Some other things I would check would include: 1) Check the cables to the drive. Are they damaged? Installed securely? 2) Remove any other IDE device on the chain to see if the problem repeats. 3) Check to see if you have master/slave or c/s (cable select). I've always preferred to specifically set the master and slave device. These are just things to try and help rule out a hardware problem.
