This is what I did for vista.

Control Panel>Administative options>Computer Management

Under storage it should list primary drive and an unallocated drive.
Right click on the uallocated drive and allocate it. It will ask you if
you want to reformat the drive, I said "no" to this but it did it any
way. So I lost everything on the Drive, but I see it now. Hopes this
helps.

Or what? You'll post *again*?!! Please lose the dreadful "usenet gateway"
web interface you are using and set up a real newsreader so people want to
help you.

***
Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it.
Here are some links to information about newsgroups:
