Invisible HDD, please help [SOLVED]

I've re-installed my OS recently and have come across an extremely odd problem, one I've never seen before.

My second drive is invisible in My Computer. It shows up in the BIOS and in device manager and it even shows up in Disk Manager as a "healthy (system, active, primary partition)". But I have no way of accessing it!

I can't reformat it because its full of my files, ones I don't have backed up anywhere else. Has anyone ever had this problem?

The HDD is a Samsung HD501LJ and I'm running Windows 7.

No, it just has a blank at the start :(

EDIT: Fixed it, used Disk Management to add a drive letter. No idea why it didn't have one to begin with, very weird.
