Howdy folks! I am in need of assistance.
I bumped my hard drive off my computer, and it disconnected from the power and sata cables. Foolish, I know. Since then, it is not showing up in windows 7.

Details:
It appears to show up in BIOS
Changed SATA cables
I uninstalled the ATA channels
Updated motherboard drivers

I looked for any unallocated space, but I don't see any. Any help would be fantastic. Thanks!

See if it shows up in disk management (run diskmgmt.msc)
See if it shows up in diskpart
- open an admin level cmd prompt (search for cmd then right click it and select Run as Admin)
- enter in diskpart
- enter in list disk

If it's there then note whether its online or offline as well as the disk # of it
- enter in select disk #
- if the disk was offline enter in online disk
- enter in list partition
Did any show up?
