the disappearing harddrive

I reinstalled my windows 2000 pro on top of itself and ended up with a clean slate... But, my second harddrive, the one that I backed up all my programs and files on, disappeared. It shows up on the black bootup screen, and in CMOS, and in the Divice Manager; but it's not showing up when I open the "My Computer" window. Can anyone please tell me how to get my second harddrive to show up?
