Recently my second hard drive, which had been working just fine stopped working. In explorer, there are drives D, E, and F. E and F were always the two cdrom drives, and D was the second hard drive. Now drives D and F are the two cdrom drives and E, which has a cdrom drive icon beside it, is "not accessible." My guess as to how this came about is that the system overheated (it wouldn't even boot for a little while, but it boots fine now), or the power supply was bad. I replaced the power supply and I still can't access the second hard drive. Also, I seem to be unable to hook up a Smartmedia USB card reader. Please help.

Welcome to TSF:

Does the drive in question show up in the bios listing during start-up ????

if it does try the manufacturers hard drive diagnostic on the program / also try disconnecting the cd-rom drives and do a reboot / it may have just lost the order of things during the power outage ??

post back and let us know ???? please dont hesitate to ask more questions

also try replacing the hdd cable and see if that helps as well.
