2nd HDD not working after swapping bios to AHCI
I have 2X HDD's 1 running windows and other for storage, both were working just fine.

A week ago I had to change my Sata Controller in Bios to AHCI from IDE. I installed a new windows and my 1 Primary HDD is working just fine but my storage HDD doesn't show in windows.

My Bios shows both HDD but windows only one. (My primary HDD got 2 partitions 1-is for Windows and the other one is still empty but after sorting out my HDD problem will use it for duel booting)

Can someone please help my how do I get my 2ND HDD to work in windows without loosing all my data on it?

Regards

What is the partition type of the boot HDD?

I Ran Partition master it only shows the HDD as a Dynamic MBR, Unallocated 1.82 TB. Partition type - Inallocated.

See if you can change the drive letter. You can use either of the free versions of Partition Wizard or Partition Master to do this.
