Have 2 internal hard drives on a Dimension 4600 and recently the d: drive has gone missing. Wont show up in Windows explorer or system information.

Have had running problems over the past week or so with blue screens (cited a tfsnifs.sys file in the error field) initially which then evolved into not being able to get into windows explorer or internet explorer (caused system freeze and required hard reboot) except in safe mode. Now no blue screens and can use both explorers but can't see the d: drive (safe or regular mode). Have scanned for viruses, etc but can't find anything.

Have spent quite a bit of time searching the internet and geekstogo for similar issues but haven't been able to find anything useful so far.

Not sure what all to post to provide relevant information. Both drives show up in device manager as working properly. Have posted Hijackthis list here but apologize if that is not useful.

Would definitely appreciate any guidance on what steps to take from here.

Go to Drive Management & see if the D drive is visible in there & if so, what its status & drive letter assignment etc is.

As far as the hjt log is concerned, I advise you close down everything else that may be open or running & run HJT again.
Then make a backup of the log file itself, so you can definately undo any changes you make.
Place a check mark against the following entries & then let HJT fix them. Make sure it does a backup itself so it can undo the changes afterwards if need be.

You may want to wait & see if anyone else here has any other suggestions regarding the hjt log. I am not an expert when it comes to malware so you may want to consult someone else as well. Or post your log in the malware forum.

If you do go ahead with it, let me know what happens.

Thanks very much for your suggestions. I checked in Device Manager and it says both disk drives (Maxtor 6Y080L0) are working fine. The first one has Location 1 (1) and the other Location 0 (0).

I'll close out what I can and then try to fix the one you suggest via Hijackthis after allowing it to back it up. Will let you know what happens.

Thanks again.

Had HJT take a crack and fixing what you suggested. Nothing in particular happened. Rebooted. D: drive still absent. Will post in the Malware area as well. Definitely open to further suggestions.

Thanks.

no d: drive in disk management. just the c: drive which registers as disk 0.

i guess the disk in location 1 (1) from the device manager corresponds to the d: drive which isn't registering here. in the device manager it says it is running fine.

c: drive is partitioned into 3 parts: NTFS (system), FAT (eisa configuration), FAT32 (unknown). All show healthy.

also, I ran the IDE diagnostic after hitting the f12 key before windows xp kicks in and it confirmed that disk 0 is fine but that the diagnostic failed for disk 1.

as my postings indicate, i'm not super tech savvy but it doesn't seem to look good for recovering any data from the d: drive. is that a fair assessment?

Hard to say.
When the drive failed the IDE diagnostic, did it say what exactly it failed on?

Also, forget about Device Manager for this particular problem. It will say the drive is healthy regardless - you could open the drive up, remove the disk platter & replace it with a dead hamster and provided the ide & power cables were still attached, device manager would probably still report it as healthy!

If disk management is reporting a disk in location 1, then (as long as its not the cdrom drive obviously) this will be your "d" drive.

Does disk management give any info on the drive? i.e does it report it as being partitioned (if so, which file format etc) or as unassigned space/unpartitioned?

As an early diagnosis, if this has happened all of a sudden & the drive is not making any weird noises, then it sounds like it may be the partition table's shot.

I while have a rummage around my disk utilities & see if there's one I can recommend.

I am hoping to get an answer to this, as well. My 'C" drive is a SATA drive and shows up just fine. I have a SCSI drive which shows up as a drive 0 but does not show up in Windows Explorer or Photoshop at all. How do you assign it a letter like all the other drives? I have looked everywhere and cannot find the answer to this.

Does it have to do with the way it's formatted? Does it need reformatting as NTFS or changed from NTFS to FAT32? I'm not sure which it is...it was formatted in DOS by the SCSI software. Their site does not seem to address this issue.
Does Windows have the utility for accomplishing this? I have not found the solution in Windows help area.....
Thanks
