Ok, here's the story...

I reformatted my computer today, I was getting my drivers (still can't find a damn audio driver :\) I rebooted, and all of the sudden my second hard drive isnt showing up? Its not registering at all anymore, what can I do, what happened, etc..?

Well the first thing is to get to the very basics....

Go into your BIOS and make sure the drive is being detected there. If it shows up there, you have a software or O/S issue.

If it does NOT appear in BIOS, then you have a hardware issue, and hope its just a loose cable and not a failed hard drive.

If it does show up, let us know what O/S you are using.
