Issues faced after reinstalling windows

[Gforce8]

Hello ladies and gentlemen.

Before formatting my com, I'm able to access all data on 3 of my HDDs. However, after reinstalling windows, the 3 drives do not exist in 'My Computer'. I have to format the drives before I am able to get them working. Doing so will wipe out the data in the drives. Any solutions out there for me to be able to access the data on those drives without formatting them?

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm using windows 8 or 7? but either way, right click on the start button then press disk management. should have a few option there i think got one can unhide de can't remember which though

I am guessing you need to assign a Drive Letter for your HDDs in Disk Management.
