Hello everyone,

I need help finding out why my computer won't recognize my HDD. I just did a re-installation of Windows 7 Home Premium onto my SSD (120GB). I've used my HDD as storage for all other programs aside from my OS. After this re-installation, my computer will no longer pick up the drive from outside of the BIOS or allow me to access my data.

I've linked a few images below if it helps:

Can anyone please assist?

you may have to assign a drive letter to it manually. i've had to do that several times before. in disk management, right click the bar that says " Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition)" and hit change drive letter. then click change. then select a letter that is totally unused, like X. click ok and ok again. see if the drive opens then

Yes, it does currently show as 'Disk 0' Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition). And it is online.

Hi there gmok1,

Do you see the drive in Disk Management? A cause for your issue may be that the drive does not have a letter assigned. If this is the case: Right Click on the Drive > Change Drive Letter and Paths > Choose a letter.

Hope this will help,
