Hard drive not working after Windows sleep

Forum Storage : Hard Drives Hard drive not working after Windows sleep

Word :    Username :           
 

Hi, earlier today I left my PC on and went out for an hour or two, it usually goes to "sleep mode" where the PC would shut off everything including fans and power back up when I move the mouse... Well, when I moved the mouse, it got stuck in the "Welcome" screen for 10 minutes or so, so I did a hard reset through the power button and now, my PC and Windows 7 installer can't even detect the hard drive...

Is my hard drive gone for good or are there ways to fix it?

Thanks.
