since ur drive is well detected in bios(u said its bootable),the OS must hav crashed or ur drive is intentionally hidden using registry tweaking.
TRY THESE
> in run command type >the driveletter:"hit enter"(this will work if reg is tweaked by a begginer)
However if this ur personal PC then u might want to repair the os
