I checked how much space I had left on my two hard drives and when I did, my PC only displayed one hard drive. I went to 'My computer' and only one hard drive icon was there. Help me find my other hard drive......pleeeease!!
 
Hi,

Start/run diskmgmt.msc, do you see it here?
How about in Device Manager?
How about in the system BIOS?

Hi Rick,
I can't see it in diskmgmt.msc or device manager and don't know how to check in the system bios. Any sugestions?
 
Hi Ritchie,

Might be loose cabling. I would open the system up and reseat cabling (both
ends) for that drive. To check the system BIOS, you must access it as the
system first loads. Refer to your system/motherboard manual for the proper
key or key combination to hit to access it.

Just a question? Have you recently done a Sys Restore on your comp? If
so you've probably disabled the 2nd hard drive. Start .. run .. MSCONFIG
.... (System configuration utility), Services .. enable all drives and
devices. Re boot.
Hope this helps.
Anne.
