    the hard drive issue not showing in window7 may be that type of hard drive you are using on your computer does not supported by window 7 this can be solved if you search for the hard drive which support in window 7. try to connect that hard drive properly connecting the cables properly to the hard drive and to the other peripherals after all done try to scan for hard drive again. this will defiantly work for your problem so go for it.

    What hard drive is it not showing?

    Primary? Secondary? SATA? IDE? Size? Manufacturer? Model? Year made? More details required.

    If it is indeed a virus, it would be better to destroy everything on the hard drive and start over. Use DBAN to write zeros (Quick Erase method) on your hard drive once.

    Yes, check if the hard drive, cable, and controller works before you try anything else.
