Hi guys so I installed Win7 and now in "computer" I see c:, and d: but I am missing my 1TB hard drive. Where did it go? Also in c drive I have something that says "windows.old". I did choose "delete" and "format" before installing win7 to make sure I had a fresh windows. Any advice would be greatly appreciate as always. Thank you.

The one that says new volume without no drive letter, looks like to need re-formatting again. That is your 1TB drive. And on the windows.old. I have no clue. If not hurting for drive space, I leave it alone.

I don't think it needs to be formatted, it apears to be fine other than not being assigned a drive letter. Try right clicking on it and assigning one before you format.
 
You have a windows.old directory cause you either did a repair install or an upgrade install and its meant to do that. And as far as your drive being missing, and as Cromewell as said, just assign it a drive letter and you'll be fine, no formatting is required.
 
Thanks guys. That was so easy, just gave it a letter and KAZAAM!!!!! Like I said I did chose "delete" and "format" in advance options prior to installing win7. Is there a way to remove windows.old? Thank again.
