I had a similar situation with this Seagate drive. I found some information online related to Seagate trying a new method for protecting the magnetic layer of the drive that caused problems and even failure to occur. I tried everything and ultimately took the drive to a local repair shop who reported back that the drive was "unsalvageable".
I just Googled using this model number and found this link - http://www.datacent.com/datarecovery/hdd/seagate/ST3120026AS.
Not sure if they can help you or not, but it may be worth a shot.
There is also a discussion on this page about the ST3120026AS not being recognized after a reboot which may help. It's from 2003, but sounds similar to your issue in that it occurred when another drive entered the equation. The original poster determined the issue had to do with his BIOS settings being IDE instead of RAID for the SATA devices (skip to the bottom).
