Windows 7 won't recognize my second hard drive after reinstall
- by Shadur
I recently suffered a total hardware crash on my windows C: drive. Fortunately, I had a spare disk on hand and set about reinstalling.
For some reason, during the install it decided to declare my second windows drive as the booting drive, but once the installation was completed it completely and utterly refuses to acknowledge the filesystem -- I'm not even seeing a drive letter, while it /does/ find the linux partitions on the other two drives (even if it can't read any of them).
My first (and most important) question: How can I get windows to re-acknowledge the drive, preferably without losing all the data on it?
My second question: How can I tell windows to set up its boot loader on the new C: drive?
