Arial Black]identifies hard drive as cd rom

i have a 2nd removeable 120 G hard drive that was working fine for over 2 years. now all of a sudden it is identifed as a cd rom and i can't access it.

am using 2002 xp pro SP2
on a pent III 650/512

the incorrect drive connotation shows up in windows explorer but not in system properties.

thanks in advance

Try resitting it (disconnect it and try reconnecting it again). It could just be having one of its moments.
 
the hard drive is not usb. it is in a hdd case that can be pulled out of the computer for storage. i tried checking connections and resetting it the drawer, still no change.

Is the Drive showing Up is the POST test?

the first screen that comes on when you power up your PC.
