This was indeed something at the BIOS - the disk setup utility showed  
that the drive on slot 4 was set to be a mirror of slot 3.  I haven't  
been in this menu and the setup worked before - not sure if memory  
test could have corrupted this setting, seems odd but timing was same.

Anyway, thanks.
