Dual hard drives

[snkbyt]

I have a Dual Bois motherboard and 2 hard drives. All has been working
great for a year. When I would open My Computor, It showed C: and F:
drives. F being the old drive from a previous computer and I used it
for storage only. I just notice a few days ago that the F: drive isn't
seen in My Computer any more. I can go to Control panel>Admin>Device
manager> disk drives and see both. But in Disc Manager it only shows
the C; drive and my DVD roms. They both show in system tools also.Also
went into the Bios settings and can do a 'Detect Hard Drive' and they
both show up same as in System>Device Manager. But know show in Disc
Management. If the hard drive went bad I hope I can get my pictures
from it. As usual didn't backup as I should. I have unplugged both
drives and re booted many times so I could see which was which.

pins accordingly,start pc.

Can it be the Hard drive went bad? The only thing that gets me is it is
I can get it to detect in the BIOS under IDE perifials adn it shows up
in Systen Device manager. I have unplugged it then check devices and it
wasn;t there so I verified the hard drive in Bios and system.But in the
System disc management it isn't there or on MY Computer. I did change
out a bad DVDrecorder last week and it works good, 1 of 2 DVD. Do know
if it happened at same time. I also tried to restore back a month with
no help. Just hope I didn't loose all my not backed up pics of drive.
