Win 7 not recognizing a 2nd hard drive

[sandcrab277]

Hello,
i have two 2tb sata hard drives...0-primary is the boot drive...the 2nd drive is 1-primary and was previously formatted and contains much data...the bios recognizes both yet win7 doesn't see the 2nd hard drive so i cannot access the data

You can go to disc management and see if it shows up there.Right click on computer and select manage then in the window select disk management and the window that pops up will have all the drives that are connected to your computer.

doesn't show...i've already done this before your suggestion...i expected something else like changing the pin settings on the 2nd hd making it a slave
