    HHD not shown in My Computer


    One of my data HDDs shows up in Device Manager but not in My Computer. I may have moved it to a different SATA port. What should I do?

    Does it show up in Disk Management?
    Actually and also, when did it work, when did it stop working, what was done in between these times?

    Hi Badddog,
    Thanks for replying.
    No it does not show up in Disc Management. It showed up yesterday, before I installed a new SSD with Win7Pro64. I still have the old HDD with Win7Pro32 on it, which is where it has gone missing in My Computer. I have a third HHD that shows up on both systems. I may have moved the missing drive to a different SATA port for the installation of the new SSD.

    Does it have a letter on the partition and if so, what is it? Can you post a screen shot of your Disc Management.

    Also post a screen print of Device Manager where you see the HDD that you don't see in Disk Management.

    After you made the hardware changes, did you do a BIOS Reset or Save Changes in BIOS ?
