    Missing Hard Drive


    I have two internal hard drives on my computer and it hasn't been a problem through multiple windows operating systems. A while ago I had to reinstall windows 7 and it didn't show up in My Computer. Admittedly I haven't really tried too hard to find a solution but now that I started I ran into a wall pretty quick. It shows up on my device manager and if I populate in its properties I even get the name I gave it but it just won't appear anywhere else. After uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers I'm already at a loss. Can someone help me out?

    Can you post an Image of your Disk Management? Type 'hard disk' into the start menu search and hit enter to view it!!
