Welcome. When you said "when i go into my computer" do you mean the bios doesn't see it? If the bios doesn't see it the first thing I would check is the power connection on the back of the drive. While your in the pc try different power connections and check the IDE connection. Also check to see if the jumper thats sets the drive as master or slave is still on.
One note that I shouldn't have to say but make sure you unplug the pc before you open it. :D Let us know if that helps
