    Hard Disk not detect


    I have two hard disk in my PC.
    First is 500 GB of Western Digital.
    Second is Maxtor 80 GB.

    Recently, i have installed Windows 7 in my PC.
    After the installation finished, i found my second hard disk (Maxtor) was not shown in My Computer. I tried to go to disk management. The hard disk was shown there but when i tried to do right click to explore the disk, unfortunately i can't.

    Does anyone want to help me?
    Please....

    In Disk Mgmt, right click the offending disk.
    Select Change drive letters and path.
    Assign a drive letter.
