Default I installed windows 7, but now i cant find my second hard drive?

Heres what i HAD:
a hard drive, with a partition
a second hard drive

I booted the Windows 7 disc on start up. It showed me 4 different drives. I chose to format them all (there was nothing i wanted to keep, important files are backed up on USB stick).

I then chose to install windows 7 on my 80gb hard drive with a 3gb partition). It installed successfully.

However, now, when i go into My Computer ('Computer' as its now called), It only recognises the hard drive its currently installed on, and the 3gig partition drive.

It doesnt show my other 80gb secondary hard drive. Any idea how I can get this back?
