I recently had my computer crash, and I was working my newest harddrive when it did. When I rebooted and reinstalled everything to get it back to normal the only drive showing was the backup drive and not my new one, what should I do??? *about to kill computer....aaahhhh....*

    im confused....how many hard drives do you have? 2,3?

    what type of hard drive is it? ive had some trouble with maxtors in the past not showing up when i first installed them. I had to get some installation drivers or something.

    I have 2 hard drives but as i said the newer one isn't being recognized, and this probably makes it worse but i don't know what kind they are, and they weren't just recently installed, this was like a year ago when i installed the newest one. :-(

    What does it say in the BIOS regarding hard drives?

    If you say you've reinstalled everything you might want to check Windows Updates. I had a similar problem once after reinstalling everything and Windows wouldn't recognize my new hard drive. Fortunately, after installing the Service Pack 2, the drive was recognized, and all files were there. Hope this helps.
