My guess is that it is dying on you...
 So I would strongly recommend that you instantly backup everything thats on it ASAP. FTP if to your computer and save it. If you bought the HDD less than 1 year ago go change it on the warranty. It is never fun when HDD's crashes...

Yeah that was my guess too. Looks like I'll have to pay a visit to eBay!!!!
It wouldnt be the IDE cable would it because when i mess around with that it works again. (For awhile anyway!!)

Could be... Try changing the IDE cable with a new one. You might be unlucky and get a cable that can not be inverted so you might have to try a few times before you find one that works.
With inverted I mean that you must use the "wrong" side to the hdd. The side that usually goes onto the motherboard in a PC. Some cables won't handle this for some strange reason. It could also be so that your HDD is still a bit away from dying and therefore each time you power down the HDD gets cool enough again to work.

I had the same problem with my IBM 60GB drive in my computer. Lasted me like 5 years. When it starts to make the clicking sound, time to get a new one. (I know from persanol experience.)
