Can anyone help me on this -Drive Image and File Recovery all see the second HD but I cannot get windows to recognize it. As far as windows goes, it does not exist!
Discussion is locked
Check in the BIOS to see if the HDD is listed?
Is it jumpered correctly?
How was the file system in this HDD prepared?
Does it show up in Disk Management?
Another way to check is using the Recovery Console.
I had a dead drive that the BIOS and all utils could see
but none of them could copy from.
Windows didn't even show it in computer management.
That's a good sign. After you have the files safely backed up, try running CHKDSK on said volume/drive in the Recovery Console.
