Secondary HD problem

I just got my computer back from the tech store today (they wiped my comp and reinstalled the corrupted OS). Everything seems to be perfect now except my backup HD is not appearing under My Computer. I checked device manager and only my primary HD shows up. I checked the wiring and it seems to be plugged in alright. It's been a while since I bought this HD and I have misplaced the box it came in, so I'm not even sure what model/make it is, or if there is a CD with drivers or installation components I need. Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to take it back to the shop!
 
Is it an EIDE or SATA drive?
Double check to make sure everything is plugged in correctly.
Right-click My Computer and select "Manage"
Then go to Disk Management and see if it shows up there.
If it shows up in Disk Management but not in My Computer, you might need to partition and format it.
 
Brilliant news, I rechecked the wiring and realized the SATA cable was unplugged, they just forgot to plug it back in, heh. Thanks for the help.
