My Dell Dimension 8300 has a primary hard drive "C" on
which I have the OS and program files and applications,
as well as a second hard drive "F" on which I have all my
data, documents, folders, Word and text files and
Internet web sites/pages (URL's).

After reloading XP Home Edition with Dell's telephone
technical support and disconnecting the "F" hard drive
ribbon cable while I performed the reloading, when I
reconnected the "F" hard drive ribbon cable after the
reloading, I now can't find the "F" drive. While it
doesn't show the "F" hard drive on My Computer page,
other parts of the system shows the F drive is present.
Also, Drives "A", "D" and "E" are fine, and everything
else in functioning okay.

How do I find the "hidden" "F" hard drive without
reformating it and thus deleting all my data, documents,
folders, Word, text files and Internet web sites/pages
(URL's) on it.

Thank you.

you need to get into disk management (right click on my
computer->manage->disk management. find the hidden drive
and right click on it and then click change drive letter
or path. set it to whatever you want
