I am setting up my wife's computer and have run into a problem. Her computer has a new 160GB harddrive and a old 120GB harddrive. I put it all in the new computer case and started the windows install process. As it started, I noticed the new harddrive was being assigned to H instead of as C. I stopped the process and restarted by getting rid of all the partitions. Now, the new hard drive is C, but the old hard drive in windows is completely missing. It is there in the bios and in the hardware manager for windows, but it does not appear in My Computer. Any help would be great.

Heck, learned something new.

How to use Disk Management
To start Disk Management: 1. Log on as administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
2. Click Start, click Run, type compmgmt.msc, and then click OK.
3. In the console tree, click Disk Management. The Disk Management window appears. Your disks and volumes appear in a graphical view and list view. To customize how you view your disks and volumes in the upper and lower panes of the window, point to Top or Bottom on the View menu, and then click the view that you want to use.
