Hi, I have two hard drives installed on my motherboard, and when I had ubuntu installed on my computer, it recognized both hard drives.
However, once I installed Windows on the other hard drive, it only recognizes the one it was installed on.
Would I have to uninstall ubuntu on my other hard drive to make it usable for Windows?
When I go to disk management, both disks do show up, but in My Computer it only shows one.

Thanks for any help!

Technically Windows does not support or unable to read Linux file systems if want your Linux drive to be detected in Windows 7 you need to install a driver like Ext2Fsd or an application like Linux Reader.
