Old working slave drive no longer showing up
I recently upgraded windows 7 to x64, and now my slave drive is no longer showing up in My Computer. It shows up in the bios, and in Disk manager.
I have tried assigning it a drive letter, but my only option is "help." I have tried uninstalling the driver for it, then restarting, and reinstalling the driver, but it seems like it auto-installs the driver on startup because when i go back into properties, it says its already installed.
I know I can format it to get it to work again, but I have over 300gb worth of stuff on there I don't want to lose.
INFO:
drive is a Western Digital 640gb Caviar Blue
Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64
drive worked before on windows 7 x86

Is there any way for me to get this drive working again without formating?
