Can you please post a screenshot from Start -> Run -> DISKMGMT.MSC?
Please expand it to full-screen first, and spread the columns so that all the text between the column separators is visible.

Well... you're certainly correct. That second drive is gone.
Is that second drive with E on it a SATA, IDE or SCSI drive? Internal I assume, although you didn't specify. Or is it an external USB drive? Or something else?
Is it visible in the BIOS? If you get into the BIOS at machine boot time, does it show up in the list of hard drives? Or is it gone even from the BIOS's perspective?
Have you tried just pulling the power and data cables from it, and then re-seating them?
If it's a SATA drive, have you tried pulling the SATA connector to the motherboard and trying it in a different SATA connector on the board? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home-built, two systems (1) and (2) OS Windows 7 Pro x64 (1), Win7 Pro X64 / WinXP Pro x86 on (2) CPU i5-3350p 3.1Ghz/6MB-cache (1); E8400 3.0Ghz/6MB-cache (2) Motherboard ASUS P8Z77-V Pro (1); ASUS P5Q3 (2) Memory 8GB PC3-12800 DDR3 (1); 4GB PC3-10600 DDR3 (2) Graphics Card ATI HD5770 dual-DVI (1), (see TV cards); ATI HD4850 (2) Sound Card Realtek ALC892 HD Audio (1); Realtek ALC1200 HD Audio (2) Monitor(s) Displays Eizo HD2441W LCD, Eizo S2433W (1); Eizo 24" S2433W (2) Screen Resolution 1920x1200, 1920x1200 (1); 1920x1200 (2) Keyboard IBM PS/2 (1) and (2) Mouse Logitech MX Revolution wireless (1); Microsoft wired (2) PSU Nesteq ECS-6001 600W (1); Nesteq ECS-5001 500W (2) Case Acousti-Case 360 (1) and (2) Cooling Noctua NH-U12P SE2 for CPU, 2x120mm case fans (1) and (2) Hard Drives (1) 1TB SATA-II (7200RPM), 2TB SATA-II (7200RPM), 2TB SATA-III (7200RPM), 250GB SATA-III (10000RPM) for OS;

first thing to try is if it is internal, shut down and replace the data cable. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Core2Duo E8400 Motherboard Asus Rampage Formula Rev. 1 Memory 5 Gigs Graphics Card Asus Nvidia 9500 Gt Sound Card Creative X-Fi Extreme Audio Monitor(s) Displays 18 Inch LCD Screen Resolution 1366x768 PSU 600 watts Hard Drives c: wd 300 gig velociaptor, wd 1tb, wd 500 gig, wd 320 gig, and 2 wd 40 gig ide drives |

i would have said check BIOS. as it saves you opening the side of ur pc typically when something changes in the bios you know about it from messages you get during boot, so i normally ask for people to check their power cables, data cables first. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Core2Duo E8400 Motherboard Asus Rampage Formula Rev. 1 Memory 5 Gigs Graphics Card Asus Nvidia 9500 Gt Sound Card Creative X-Fi Extreme Audio Monitor(s) Displays 18 Inch LCD Screen Resolution 1366x768 PSU 600 watts Hard Drives c: wd 300 gig velociaptor, wd 1tb, wd 500 gig, wd 320 gig, and 2 wd 40 gig ide drives |

If you are using Sata 1 cables, replace with Sata 2. | My System Specs | | |
