All of a sudden my computer isn't showing my F-Drive so now several of my programs wont work. I thought it was a mistake so I opened up the MY COMPUTER ICON and sure enough, the F-Drive is missing. I don't know anything about computers so I don't want to take it apart. Is there any way to find it just using my keyboard/mouse?

The F Drive was a hard drive.

well if u rebooted and all the time it's the same, then i'm afraid u should open up the computer tower, but it's really no big deal, just check if the drives are all connected properly, they should always be 2 cables, one for power, usually about 2 cm in length and a data cable, about couble the size, just check if they r all properly connected to the drives themselves and also to the mainboard, then boot again to check if anythign changed, euw btw the f-drive i assume it's a physical additional hardrive or jsut a parition, if it is a partition and the other partitions of that drive still show and work, then u shoudl get partitionmagic and check the situation with that, or if u r in windwos xp u could also check it there from the system tools, there should be a seomthing for that, also u can look into the bios, when u r computer boots, does the screen show the boot info? hit delete to enter the boot menue or any other button it specifies when u just astarted ur computer, then u check if ur hardrive shows up there...

f drive is sometimes a cd rom drive and yes you can get that back just call a IT person or some one who knows computers just a bit more not to be meen at all on that but it sounds like you know a lot but not about the hardware part so i would do that you may need a new cd rom drive or if it was not your cd rom drive and it was your usb device it might be a sind a difrent letter

Depends - what was your F: drive? Was it a hard drive, a network drive, a flash drive, an external drive? Need more info to answer your question intelligently.
