   If anyone can help me out PLEASE,   
      
   I have two hard discs, Windows is drive D on SATA via an Abit Serillel adapter   
   and storage is drive C (IDE) which simply does not show in explorer.  It shows   
   in   
   the device manager which says "this device is working properly".  And it shows   
   in system info displays that DMA is "OK".  Both drives show at location 0 (0),   
   strangely enough.   
      
   Recently I had trouble with Firefox and a Windows original 3D screen saver both   
   of which would corrupt the *mechanics* of the D drive and crash the whole   
   machine, and many times a reset would not work, it stayed the same as not being   
   able to get back into Windows.  So I did a repair install from the XP disc got   
   it   
   woking good, then installed SP1 which totaly fouled it up, and I had lost my   
   SP2   
   download (or i never had it).  I can't find that anywhere on the MS website.   
   Anyone got the LINK to it???   
      
   Then I uninstalled SP1 and Windows is working properly as version 2002, after   
   using "Advanced Windows Care" software.... only the disc C does not show in   
   explorer, what can I do to get it back?
