Hey, guys I bought a new mobo cause my old one had bended pins for some reason yet was still working but after cleaning it won't work. The old was Asus and the new is Gigabyte cause that was the only available in the store. After reinstalling windows on the same partition which made windows.old. i noticed that i cannot see my other hard drive which only contains files yet it was visible during installation process and i cannot find it on bios. Any ideas?

Please list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS: I'm assuming Windows 7

We're also going to need to know the old motherboard's model. After you got your system powered up, did you make sure your BIOS was updated? Are you referring to not being able to see the second partition or physical drive?

I am sorry for that stupid question. I guess I panicked cause I had that STOP Blue screen on windows logo for a split second thing after I restarted the computer for the drivers to take effect. I added a drive letter to it in disk management. I am not sure if it was there before because I reinstalled Windows 7 again because of that BSOD startup loop.
