Hey folks

OK lets start

I dual boot.

Both boot Win7 Home Premium 64 bit

One I use specifically for internet stuff and office.
The second is for gaming and multimedia. I also Have a third but it's just
a storage drive NO OS.

The first drive is called Internet.
The second is Games.

The first one is a WD Blue 1 tb.
The Second is a WD Black 1 tb.

Both drives have been working fine for a while now and all of a sudden
Whamo! I boot into the Internet side and can't access the Games drive. I
also run a sync program from the internet drive to the Games drive. It is
not working also, go figure :) All the drives are fine hardware wise
checked them all out. Smart says all are healthy. They are all new just in
the past two months or so.

My Internet drive does NOT see the Games drive.
Now what is weird is, you see it if you go into the device manager and
populate the drives! But it is not shown in Windows explorer or my file
manager (XYPlorer).

Before this happened you would see if on the internet side. C = internet
drive, d = games drive, E = Storage drive.

Now to top all this off at the boot manager screen I see both Internet and
Games choices and guess what games boots up like nothing is wrong!!!!
I see the Internet drive and access all files! All drives show correctly!!
But it's only when I boot to the internet side (drive) that I have the
problem of not being able to access nor see the games drive.
Only drives I see on the internet side is c:, d = storage, e = CD. I also
have an external WD 2 TB drive but it is strictly USB 3.0. The OS does
assign it a drive letter, so I checked that out. NADA!

At this point I'm a little stumped. I thought maybe an update messed things
up, but I did not see any update that might do that. Of course it still
could have been one. The only thing I can think of at the moment is the
Boot Record got messed up somehow.
Other than that, Unless someone here can give me any ideas then It looks
like a re-install AGAIN!!

If I left any info out feel free to let me know!!
