Not a lot of information.
What is shown in Disk Manager?

Re: Re: Missing Drive
Could there be another name for Disk Manager---I don't recognize that
one and it doesn't appear in CtrlPanel.

Search using Google!

(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

How to use Disk Management

To start Disk Management:

1. Log on as administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
2. Click Start, click Run, type compmgmt.msc, and then click OK.
3. In the console tree, click Disk Management. The Disk Management window
appears. Your disks and volumes appear in a graphical view and list view. To
customize how you view your disks and volumes in the upper and lower panes
of the window, point to Top or Bottom on the View menu, and then click the
view that you want to use.

NOTE: Microsoft recommends that you create a full back up of your disk
contents before you make any changes to your disks or volumes.

Good Luck!
