Does it show up in my computer,if not check that the ribbon cable has not worked loose.If it does go to control panel /device manager and see if the device is listed and does not have a yellow exclamation mark along side of it.

No, it is not listed in Device Manager? My cable isn't loose?

it says that my D:\ drive is not accessible because it has been moved or removed?

Try reinstalling it (drivers) that normally will fix any non-hardware related issues.

How do I reinstall the drivers?

You should be able to go to the control panal and double click on add hardware. The Operating System should find your hard drive and install necessary drivers. If the Operating System does not find the drivers for your drive you will need an installation disk, but it should find it.
