Default Lost Hard Drive

I started up my old Windows 98 computer the other day and
went to Explorer. When it opened I noticed the second
hard drive was not there. I opened My Computer and also
the same thing. I had recently moved the computer, so I
opened it up and checked the connections and then re-
started. I still can't see the drive. Is there some way
to check to see if the drive has failed? TIA

Hi Ric,

If Tweakui is installed, make sure the drive is not unchecked there.
