Hello,
  • Check that partition exists in the "Disk Management".
  • Hold "Windows" key and press the "R" key. Run dialog box will appear.
  • Now type
    diskmgmt.msc
    and press Enter.
  • "Disk Management" will then be opened.
  • If you notice a partition without a drive letter then right-click on it. Select "Change Drive Letter and Paths...". Click on "Add" button --> Add. Select the drive letter. Click on OK.


Good Luck

Hey Jack, I have tried your solution, there is a window open and I was seeing partition of my hard disk. there are 2 partition which are invisible. 1 is system reserved(390 MB) and other is Free Space (48.6 GB). I have known from your reply that what happened with my drive but Now How can I get my data back from this free space? Or have I lost it permanently?
thanks. Godbless
