Hard Drive Help

[Guest]

I recently upgraded my hard drive to a Seagate 120GB Hard drive. After
setting up the hard drive and copying over the files I came to find that my
second hard drive, a Western Digital 120GB, is not showing up in My Computer
or in Windows Explorer. Both drives show up when the computer is first turned
on and when I look in the device manager both drives are there and read as
working properly. I have tried pretty much everything and I am out of
suggestions. Can anybody help?

Is TweakUi installed on your machine?

No TweakUi is not installed

Is the drive visible in Disk Management? Start, Control Panel,
Administrative
Tools, Computer Management and Disk Management. How does it describe
the drive.

What type of format do you have on both drives?

Does it show up in computer managment? What does computer management say.
Download tweakui and and see if the drive gh=has beed disabled. I know you
say you dont have it installed but the setting is a regisatry setting and it
might have been switched somehow.
