I have been getting the same issue. I have tried various drives - reinstalling drivers etc. Sometimes drives work for a week then problem comes back i have even reinstalled and problem came back again i am lost. Drives are recognised if i open them then scan for new hardware but they dissappear soon after. They are recognised in the bios all the time the problem starts when windows does?
