Turn compsky on, doesn't detect HDD, goes to nvidia boot agent, reset and it detects is fine and boots windows. Happens every time (excpet on restart).

Maxtor 250GB SATA II
MSI K9N Neo w/ nForce 550 chipset

Hmm, I have something similar.

Everytime I plug out my hard drive or CD rom, it takes a couple of boots to detect.

Try reseting the CMOS (theres a little buton somewhere on the motherboard, look in the manual).

If not im not sure as I don't have SATA, but can you reinstall the drivers that come on the floppy with the motherboard?

I seem to remember in older bios'es you could have the option to delay the boot up due to hdd's taking a lng time to spin up. In any case I would be worried as your hdd might go kaputt! :(
