Invisible Hard drive (not shown in MY COMPUTER)

This one has bounced around the office for far too long, someone has to have
an answer. A back up hard disc (IDE) was removed and the main disc (C, also
IDE) was formatted and XP re-installed, everything was fine but when we
replaced the back-up disc (F) was not visible in MY COMUTER. It can be seen
in BIOS and DEVICE MANAGER but we cannot access it, any ideas?

You need to find a newsgroup with the name "windows" in it.

This is a group for dotnet software developers/programmers.
