if you have another computer, i would go online and get the hard drive test for hard drives.

Were both drives on the same IDE? I would set each as a single drive and see if the bios sees each drive.

Sorry. they were both on the same IDE. I dont have a coupler to change it to a master drive instead of a slave drive. also, as an update. I checked to make sure no cables were loose, then powered down. when I rebooted, it showed up, but once I tried to access the drive, it started making noise, like small beeps, and the my computer froze.
