win7 wont read my second partition

HealthyAddict · Oct 21, 2010

i have 2 hard drives plugged in, one is split in 2 partitions, 30gb and 270gb (one for windows install, and other for storage). the windows partition (30gb) shows up and the second hard drive shows up, but the second partition on the first hard drive doesnt show up in 'my computer'. it does see it in disk manager though.

is there a way for me to fix this? or a way to access the second partition

Is this a new setup? Could be easy as right clicking on the 270gb space in disk management and selecting format. If you do this any data that was on there would be lost.
