My OS was installed in the 40GB hrddisk. after reformatting, i placed back the 160GB hrddisk but it wasn't detected when i CLICK the 'MY COMPUTER ICON' but when i look at the device manger, it was installed & working properly. and when i look at the Disk mngt, it was also there but the drive path was blank. when i tried to right click, the only submenu action to be taken was 'delete PARTITION' & 'help'.

MY PROBLEM WAS, that 160GB has all of my files in there esp MUSIC files which i need to retrieve badly. but i wasn't able to detect the drive path of it. WHAT SHALL I DO??? i tried to mix all the cables connected but it is still the same.
