What can you do to get your PC to recognize drives that previously worked after you have removed all computer viruses?

No software (such as a virus) can cause physical damage to your hard drive. If the virus was the original cause of the drive failing to be recognised, eradication of the virus and it's incidental effects would likely restore the drive to it's original operating state. However it's possible the virus didn't cause your drive to become hidden, it may have just worn out.
It could be your BIOS settings since some viruses can erase the drive specs.
Or a virus could format the drive, possibly with some new drive specs. There are sometimes ways to recover the data, but this can be expensive. The drive is physically still good if reformatted and reinstalled. Of course all data is gone. A number of viruses remove the FAT tables, making the drive useless.
Or it may be something as simple as having the correct drivers installed.
