I had 2 hard drives in my computer one of them was a main hard drive,
the other just for extra stoage. I had to do a system restore and lost
all data on main disk (of course) but after that I was not able to
access the other (storage) hard drive. I can see the drive on the
device manager and it tells me that its working properly, but its not
one of the drives in the "my computer" folder. My question is: If even
possible, how do I access the files on this hard drive?

Thank you

Assign the drive a letter through disk management.

System Restore does NOT delete data on any Disk at all! Sytem Restore is a
utility in XP, of which you should become more aware.

You must have performed a clean installation.
