I guess the hard drive shows up sometimes after reinstalling and sometimes doesn't

To fix this:

Log on as Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Performance and Maintenance.
2. Click Administrative Tools, double-click Computer Management, and then click Disk Management in the left pane.
3. Right-click the drive, the partition, the logical drive, or the volume that you want to assign a drive letter to, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
4. Click Change.
5. Click Assign the following drive letter if it is not already selected, click the drive letter that you want to use, and then click OK.
6. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the drive letter change.
