I have just installed whats in my drive after upgrading everything apart from the hard drives.

My problem is that I can no longer see the drives with my data on.

Anyone help?

The IDE is missing totally whilst the other one is showing dynamic unreadable?

Is there a way of bring back?

THanks
 
Have you reinstalled Windows?

Try going to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Storage>Disk Management.

Can you see your drives/disks in there?
 
When you say "can't see" do you mean you can't see them in windows but can in the bios?

If you have reinstalled windows xp (what os are you using?), then have you installed SP2 if the drive in question is large?

Havent installed any any SP's yet. The drive is 250gig sata. I can see this drive but it is showing unreadable. And this shows up in bios fine.

I found the IDE drive this was a simple case of not putting a power cable into it lol.

But I would love it if you could help with the unreadable one as it has some important pictures on it.

THanks
