Re: Hard Disk Not Appearing

In Computer Management do they appear if you select View, Bottom,
Hidden?

You might look at TweakUi.

In TweakUi select My Computer, Drives.

You might also try HD Tune(freeware) as you can see the SMART
information relating to the drive etc.

Download and run it and see what it turns up.
http://www.hdtune.com/

Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on the drive under Drive
letter and then double click the two page icon ( copy to Clipboard )
and copy into a further message.

Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon ( copy to
Clipboard ) and copy into a further message. Make sure you do a full
surface scan with HD Tune.

I've seen a few posts similar to this but did not see a solution.

I have two hard disks, with disk 0 having C and E partitions and disk
1 having F and G partitions. Yesterday, in Windows Explorer, I
noticed that F and G were not appearing.

I looked in the BIOS and both disks are there, and they show as
'working properly' in Device Manager. In Computer Management, Disk
Management, only Disk 0 shows. I did the Rescan Disks a couple times
with no success.

How can I get the Disk 1 to show up in XP? (I have many files in the
F partition.)

Thanks for any help.
