Hi all!
I have a system with three hard disks on them. The Primary one has the OS and some programs. Secondary one has programs and data (like pictures and such). Third one has data and backup data.
I recently formatted the Primary drive which had Windows Vista on it, and did a full install of Windows 7 Pro.
After the install, the Secondary and Tertiary disks showed up in disk management; I just had to assign drive letters to them.
The issue: I can see the existing Secondary and Tertiary disks in windows explorer. I can go into properties on each hard disk and see that there is used disk space on them (so the data is still there). But Windows Explorer shows both hard disks as empty. I can't actually see any of the data. What can I do to fix this...obviously without formatting the disks and losing the existing data on there? Is this perhaps a driver issue?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Shane
