I have two hard drives in my setup, my main one is partioned for programs and other stuff (80 Gig) and the other drive I use for video capture (80 Gig Maxtor). In my Windows explorer or in My Computer they are listed as C,D and G but all of a sudden the G drive is not visible and I have no access to it. It still appears in the BIOS setup and in the Device Manager but no where else. I have uninstalled and reinstalled from the device manager and it says the Device Is Working Properly but I just don't have access to it. I've been running this setup for about 6 months without any problem, it just seems like it has vanished. I have also tried to a System Restore but no go. Has anyone had the same problem?
