Drive Shows Up in Device Manger But Not in My Computer. . .

Does this indicate a drive gone bad?

I'm unsure what this indicates.

Any input will be nice.

Does it say the drive is functioning correctly in device manager? Is the drive partitioned? Is the drive formatted? Is the drive active?

It says its functioning correctly in device manager. The drive was working but just recently just :isappeared::

Format and partition info may have gone poof. Not sure what to tell you, you could reformat it to see if it comes back, but then your data will be gone, so if there is stuff on it you potentially want or need i wouldnt recommend that. Check computer management (right click my computer -> manage -> disk management in winxp/2000) and see what it says and post back here.

Here's what it says
Volume (Blank) Type: Basic File System: FAT Status: Healthy EISA Config) Capacity 31mb (wtf?!)

This was suppose to be a 160 gb drive XD Also looks like the wrong file system. ..

EDIT:

I looked again and all this was under drive one! (My bad guys)
Drive 2: was offline?!
