a few days ago windows became mysteriously corrupted so i decided to reformat my C: (no big deal) the problem is that now my second hard drive wont show up. I also have valuable information on this hard drive which cannot be lost. I also know that it isnt a hardware problem i just have to somehow get my compuer to read the drive.

can someone help?

no it is not showing up in either of those.

is the drive jumpered correctly? is it seated properly? can you hear/feel it spin up at all?
if you put the drive in as a slave in another machine does it get detected?
