Hey everyone -- trying not to panic here.

I have windows XP. I have 2 harddrives -- the C drive, which is the
original drive that came with my computer, and the F drive, a 250 gig
internal drive I installed a while back.

I turned on my computer today and the F drive is gone. It's not
showing up in explorer, in disk manager, and any files I try to find
on it are gone.

This drive had everything on it...I have no clue why it's not showing
up. I restarted my computer 3 times. I don't know what else to do.

Thank you so much.

First check to see if it's detected in the bios

if not, open tha case and check the cables

Another thing you might want to try at this point is to download the HDD
diagnostic utility that will probably be available from the disk's
manufacturer.

Hey

So I woke up today, turned on my computer and now everything is normal
again.

I'm still worried though -- no clue what happened. Any ideas?? I
still may open up my computer and make sure everything's ok, though I
can't imagine what could have gone on inside of it (it hasn't been
touched)

If nothing else, you should have learned the value of having a proper backup
of your system's drives.
