Hard Drive issue

[Guest]

I have a Dell 4100 PC with 2 hard drives and installed XP Pro on C:\ on 1st
Disk which has C:, D: & E:. The second drive has F: & G:. System crashed and
installed XP on D:. When I login, I'm not able to see the 2nd drive on
windows explorer. When I opened computer management->Storage->Disk
Management, I'm able to see the 2nd disk but the filesystem information is
missing. It is used to be NTFS.
Any Ideas..!

Were the hard drives installed at the factory by Dell or
later by you? If the latter case, how were the drives set
up, that is, Drive 1 as Primary and Master and Drive 2 as
Extended and Slave on the same IDE controller? Or CSEL, or
cable select? More help may follow based on answers to the
above.

The drive letter is missing. When I tried to recover data using R-STUDIO, it
says "No valid supported file system present on the volume."

Management,
This disk is showed as
