Check that your sata cables and sata power cables are connected correctly... if not then it might be the actual sata cable that could have failed. Maybe a bent pin somewhere? As long as your mobo is working, it shouldnt have any effect on your HDD.

deleted... as I did not see that the system could see the disk as you stated in your first post

 

Sound like you lost your bootloader on the disk, there are several sites that can walk you through recovering it like this one.

 

However, if your system cannot see the disk and testing it on a second computer can't see the disk then it is probably bad.

I've had a problem with my new MSI mobo too (a Z97S SLI Krait Edition), and seemingly the same problem; my mobo would just randomly forget it was connected to an SSD and restart, then show it's not connected to any drive (even in the Board Explorer) and not have an OS to boot into. One time it just came back after a restart, another time I left it off all night and it came back on in the morning, but what really fixed it (mostly, had it happen again last night but it's better than it was) was to update the BIOS. It doesn't seem like it turned into fried a port, as those times it came back was in the same port, but changing ports helped once too if you need it now. The BIOS update is done through a USB, and though I'm on an Intel board and the one you said you have is an AMD I'd wager it's the same fix.
