My computer crashed one day and when I booted it back up my secondary hard drive had disappeared from My Computer but when I go into the bios it is recognized. I tried right clicking on My Computer and going to Manage because that is how I had to get Windows to see the HDD when I installed it but it doesn't show up there either. I ran two virus scans and found nothing. Any idea on how to get this HDD to show up again without formatting? I have a lot of files on that drive I don't want to lose. Thanks.
