Do you have any antivirus software?

If not visit this link and download AVG Antivirus for free.
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5

Once you have installed it you can run a scan on the system and find out the name of the virus. Once we know the name we can sort out a better solution to the problem.

Also try boot your machine into Windows Safe Mode and see whether you can see you other Hard drives from there.

It is a very good Antivirus system?

One thing you could check is Disk Management.
Go into control panel, then Administrative tools then Computer Management.
Now go down to Disk Management and see what drives you can see there.

That is strange because even if the drive has lost its partition it should still show up in Computer Management.
Try the following:

Open your PC case and disconnect all drives except for the C drive.
(disconnect your CD-ROM as well)
Now connect your 80Gig drive to the same cable that the CD-ROM was running on, boot it up and see whether you can see it.
