    Hi Guys,
    My T61 is great but I am having problem with my desktop. Please help? I am running two hard drives and I just restored my system. Now the computer is not recognizing my second hard drive. I specifically remember deleting the partition but I may have forgotten to re-partition my second hard drive. Would this cause the hard drive not to show up? Also, what is the best way to solve this problem without restoring my system again.
    Thanks

    You should post this in the desktop forum, but I'll go ahead and say that if you deleted the partition, it won't show up until you reformat (even if you repartitioned it, it won't show up without formatting).

    Go to your control panel, make sure you're in classic view, go to Administrative Tools, Computer Management, and Disk management. From here, you can partition if you have to, and you can format the disk.
