Default Slave Hard Drive

Hi, I have an old Windows 98 PC on which i have 2 Hard Drives. However, the
last 4-5 times i've restared that computer, it no longer recognizes the
secondary hard drive. I have a lot of important documentation on that drive.

What to do?

Enter Bios and see if Bios recognizes the drive - If not (most likely ) then
make sure that a power cable or ribbon cable to the drive has not come
loose.

Next, I would visit the drive manufacturers web site and download their
drive diagnostic and check the drive.
