    Hey guys I recently upgraded my comp to windows 7 and I cannot see one of my partition. When I installed windows I had 298gigs free and before installing windows I made a 100gig for windows only to be installed on. Now that Im done I go to my computer and the other is not there. I went to disk management and see it but I am not sure the exact steps to take to assign a letter. I just see a bunch of volume options.

    Right click on the partition that you want to change the drive letter and choose the Change Drive letters and paths option.

    A picture here is sometimes worth a thousand words :)
    Is the 100GB drive your C: Drive?

    If the other 198 gigs is shown but no drive letter or way to reference it, try right click on it and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths", change or add your drive letter on the next menu.

    Edit: OK tijo, while you were responding I was thinking and trying to give a few more click this, click that :D I will leave my post anyway.
