cheshiresport Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi guys,Im after a bit of help and advice please. Since installing Windows Vista onto my home pc i cannot use my second hard drive on my pc (it shows under disc management but as offline).This hard drive has got all my music, pictures etc on it that i really cannot afford to lose. The drive worked fine before i installed Vista, i was runnning XP before.Has anyone any ideas how i can get this drive to work with Vista without losing all my data, OR if i was to re install XP do you think it would automatically show up again as before (is this problem just Vista related and not something wrong with the drive)???Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Have you looked in disk management to see if it has been assigned a drive letter, if it has not been assigned one, right click the drive and select initialize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
