You'll need to create and format a partition on the new drive using Disk Management before it can be accessed. Right click on My Computer and pick Manage, then pick Disk Management from the left hand tree list. The two drives (plus any opticals etc you have) will be displayed in the right hand pane. Once you've written the initial signature to the new drive it will appear as a bar of unallocated space, right click in there and pick New Partition, check the values are sensible in the pop up and check the Quick Format box. Once you hit OK it'll tak a minute or so to sort itself out but that should be it done. If you want you can swap the drive letters about so that the HDDs are C & D and any opticals start at E but that's personal preference.
You'd need to image from one drive to another. Acronis True Image Home would do it. Get the 30 day trial which is fully functioning and use 'clone disk' - I actually ended up buying it because I liked it so much, but that's up to you.
Hi guys, resurecting this thread as im having the same problem again. For some reason my cpu decided to go back to its defult speed, i changed it back to what i clocked it to and for some reason the slave hitachi hd has decided to go missing, i can see it in the device manager but nowhere else?? Also i carnt format it as it has loads of important data on it now. thanks for any help fellas

I hear this is a problem with your power cables. You see data is made of 1's and 0's. The 1's are pretty thin and have no problem getting through, the 0's are thicker and sometimes cause bugs like the one you're experiencing.
A good way to get rid of these stuck 0's in your cables is to stretch them with a good weight. People have reported great results by making a large circle of the cable, tying one end to something high and use your own weigth to stretch the cables by the neck inside formentioned circle.
