Only 1 HDD Showing!

WaynelleUK09 · 18 Mar 2012 at 17:58

just had to reinstall windows after my installation messed up and couldnt find boot file, but now it is only showing one hard drive in my computer although both r picked up in device manager and in the bios. But it only shows the one windows is installed on and another system reserved (d) that is only 99mb.

Any ideas whats wrong...cheers.

Can you get a screen shot up of disk management and the shaded colored blocks representing the drives?

You need to asign the other drive a letter

Good, right click it, delete the partition/create a new simple volume and give it a letter
