My computer just crashed/rebooted and now my secondary but biggest 400GB WD SATA drive isn't showing up in Windows or device manager. Does anyone know how I can get it back? Please help!

No, the BIOS doesn't see it and it's not in disk management either. When the computer starts up and gets to the POST, it takes a while for it to get past that. With my computer case I can't start it up without the case closed so I can't tell if it is spinning or not... Is there any chance of recovery?
 
Try a different port and cable.
Failing that, try it in another PC.
 
Your HD is probably dead, but maybe it was other way around - your HD died and that crashed the PC.
