Drives missing in Windows 7 after re-installation

Hi,

Windows 7 on my daughter's PC got clobbered (would not boot) so I re-installed Windows 7 (64) bit, and also installed all of the drivers from the motherboard DVD (ASUS P8Z77-VLK). All devices appear to be ok on Windows Device Manager.

After the re-installation, the following drives appeared in Win7:

- SSD (128GB)
- 3TB SATA
- 2TB SATA

The thing is, she has 2 additional SATA drives on the system, and I can see them in Device Manager, but they show as allocated, BUT I an see the data/information (e.g., directories, files, etc.) in BING.

Does anyone know how I can get these 2 drives to appear correctly in Windows 7?

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,

Are you using Unlimited Primaries? Check your Boot Item to make sure the partitions are in the MBR Details.

Do you need to give them drive letters?
