The latest windows 10 update caused my computer to no longer recognize my second hard drive. Any ideas on how to get my drive It doesn't show up in disk management either.

Hey there, Kemper2!

I'd recommend you to install the proper chipset/SATA drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's website. I'd also try the secondary drive with a different SATA cable or on a different SATA port. Another thing I'd check is BIOS and if the drive is showing up at least there. It might also be a good idea to reset the jumper on the mobo or re-seat the CMOS battery, in order to reset BIOS. However, this would get your settings back to factory defaults, so make sure you know how re-configure them afterwards. Here's a tutorial that might help you: http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-Your-BIOS

Hope it helps! Keep me posted! :)
