John Zeno Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I reinstalled Windows 7 and everything went well. I can access the internal drive and the DVD drive through Open on Disk Management and a shortcut for the hard drive on the desktop that I created after the install but can't see the hard drive or the DVD drive in Computer or Windows Explorer.I have an external hard drive that stopped appearing in Computer or Windows Explorer before I reinstalled. It is still accessible through Disk Management but still doesn't appear in Computer.Thanks for any tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bludgard Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Did the drives become hidden in the fervor of reinstall?Maybe this can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
