Windows 7 can't find my second harddrive

Hi

I recently installed Windows 7 and it's been working fine but when I go to "computers" it does not display my secondary harddrive only my primary, how do I add it?

thank you

Solved it. Post if you have the same problem and i'll help you solve it.

Why not just post your solution?

I did not have time. I'll post it as soon as I get home from school.

Goto: Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools ->Computer Management -> Disk Management -> Right-Click on the Harddrive not displayed in the computer map -> Add driver letter.

Hope this works or else post a comment here.

I did exactly this, and it still doesn't find my third hard drive.

Earlier I tried out Ubuntu simply from curiosity and I could access it without any trouble whatsoever.

Windows 7 just doesn't seem to see it at all.

Hi

Have you got any solution if the "Add driver Letter" isn't showing when I right-click on the HDD that my computer isn't showing? Everything is blocked except for "Delete volume" and "help" It would be great if you knew what to do.

On Windows 7

Right Click My Computer
Click on Manage
Computer Management Opens
Click Disk Management
Right click on disk that does not show
Click on Change Drive Letter and Paths
Assign a new drive letter

You will now see the drive that you couldn't view.
