Solved New SSD installed and working can't find existing HDD

[whatsthatsound]

Got nasty virus on HDD and wanted to install a SSD anyway so installed it (SSD) and now need to get data off of HDD but it is not recognized, how do I get it back so I can get data of of it before reformatting. I unplugged power to HDD prior to installing SSD and plugged it back in and get nothing.

Hi there,

Have you tried double checking inside your computer that all the power and sata connections are plugged in correctly and where they are meant to be?

Have you tried checking in the BIOS if the hard drive is detected?

Let us know how you get on,

It is recognized in BIOS but not in exploer/computer

Can you post a screen shot of Disk management?

Might just need a drive letter assigned, post the shot as asked.

Well there is a drive, but it`s only 9.5 GBs. Is that what you were looking for ?
It is unallocated now, you could try booting with the Partition Wizard Boot cd to explore it.

Partition Wizard Bootable CD allows user to manage partition directly with partition manager bootable CD.
