Answer Hi Kunal, there are many things that could cause this. Do the drives show up in Device Manager at all?
Have you tried doing a system restore to a date prior to the update? To do that, go to Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore. It will walk you through how to to complete it.
You may also want to remove your IDE/ATAPI controller and let Windows reinstall it. Maybe it would see the drive then.
