my computer stopped booting from my hard drive, so i had to make my secondary one my master. and when i go to "My Computer" it doesn't see my windows partition on the other hard drive. i downloaded a few utilities that supposedly recovers lost partitions, but they already see the partition. i boot from the Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools and that also shows that the partition is there...is there a way i can get the partition back?

Can you see the partition in Windows Disk Manager?

Start->Control Panel (Classic View)->Adminstrative Tools->Computer Management->Disk Mangement

See if you can find the partition there. If you can, assign it a drive letter (via the right-click menu) and then you'll be able to access the files.
