i just installed free nas on a computer, so i hooked a harddrive up to it. it asked me a lot of things. after i failed i tried to get something of my hdd, as it turns out the hdd is reconizzed, but doesn't show up in my computer folder. i think it is because it set it to zfs. can someone pleace help me and tell me how to reset my hdd.

It sounds like you have already initialized ZFS on the HDD so all of the data that resided on the NTFS partition is now gone, short of data recovery services that can cost upwards of $2000. To just get the hard drive to be to be usable by Windows you will need to format in diskmgmt.msc but beware the will make any data that was on it even harder and more costly to recover.
