If FDISK.EXE shows an unformatted drive, you need to start there. If not, my next guess would be hardware configuration problems.

Without knowing a lot more about your hardware setup I'm guessing, but my first guess would be that you have two drives configured as IDE primary, and a controller that is smart enough to ignore the second drive until you get it configured properly.
