I just reformatted my computer, and now I'm unable to access one of my hard drives.
When I reinstalled Windows I deleted the partition my OS files were on and reformatted
it. I installed Windows and had no issues.
However, upon booting, I've noticed that I can no longer access one of my hard drives.
I've got a 150GB raptor drive for my operating system and program files, and two
500GB drives and two 1.5TB drives. One of the 1.5TB drives (the 4th hard drive, hard
drive 3, to be specific) now just shows up as "Local Disk" and I can't access anything
on it. I didn't disconnect it during install and I definitely didn't delete the partition
on it.
Is there any way to get back everything I had on this drive? I was browsing around
on the net and I couldn't find anything Vista-specific but did find something talking
about possible uninstalled drivers? Could anyone confirm? I find it odd, seeing as
how I have 4 other hard drives all fully functional. All my hard drives are SATA
drives as well.
