Windows was giving me trouble do I F-disked my C partition and reloaded windows. Now, I can only see my main drive (partitions c & d)in My Computer. I have one other hard drive off my m-board and one off of the SIIG ATA133 card. In addition I have a cd-rom off the ATA133 card and I CAN see it on my computer. So, I can see my cd-rom of the ATA card but not my hard drive off the card. However, I can See ALL hardware in Device manager and all show devices as working properly, I need help. I have updated all drivers for the motherboard (KT266A) and all drivers for the SIIGATA133 card. Here is a breakdown. I can't figure this out. I need help.

MB Primary - 2 drives-can only see 1
MB Secondary - 1 CD-ROM CAN see

SIIG card - 1 Drive CAN'T see
- 1 CD-ROm CAN see
 
Fdisk or Format? If you Fdisk'd then you blew out the partition info and will have to rebuild it. You should have only Formated the C drive. We are always looking for new members at our computer forums: Please come join our community too.
 
what version of windows? missing parts of the story? (eg, why you were reinstalling). Can you see 'missing drives' booting from a win98 boot floppy? What filestore are missing drive? Can fdisk see them?
