Hard Drive not showing up
Hello people. I'm new to the forum and the reason was a problem :) :
It all started when I had a Windows 8 PC. I did some customizations tweaks in the 'System32' folder which affected the explorer.exe. Then I tried to rescue it by booting Mint from a flash drive but due to some errors, I decided to change the OS to Ubuntu. Everything was fine but my father disliked it 'cause I erased each and every data while installing . Then he took it to the repair workshop and had Windows 7 installed (which I'm currently using). I had a hard drive of about 128gb. We bought a new hard drive of 500gb (Windows 7 ). But after install, the old HDD did not show up in the 'My computer'. But when I tried booting from a flash drive, it was there and all data was safe ( but not my dad's ). I knew it!.
Now, when I booted again in Windows, it disappeared again. Happens every time. What should I do?
If this was too 'story-ful', then sorry.
