W2K (SP3) cannot see two of my HDs

FrogMaster
Hi all! Two of my HDs out of four are no longer shown in my computer. One is connected to ide 2 and the other to the promise ide port 1. The mobo is an ASUS A7V333. They used to be shown. This happened after I uninstalled AstonShell that I wanted to test drive (got rid of it because it does not support dual display).

Blocking file transfers in messenger
