Wow!Even i got my hdd workin properly. Steps Followed: 1.Setting BIOS to factory defaults 2.changing hda->sda in /boot/grub/device.map 3.update-initramfs -u 4.grub-install /dev/sda
After all this; i shutdown the computer and remove the power cable from the HDD. Wait for some 30 secs,then restart the computer and Voila! everything works like it should. Also like Henrik mentioned i had some error messages from Grub(i have turned on debug in grub) and now there are no error's,which makes me believe that some register settings got screwed up and even a RESET wasn't helping matters.A cold boot and above changes some how brought back sanity.
