Can you access it? Is there anything on it?
Try clicking Start and right-click 'Computer' and select Manage. What shows up under 'Drive Management'?
microsoft have recently been giving away free hard drvies - maybe you were a lucky winner?
seriously though, how big is it? if it's 100MB, then it's probably your reserved boot partition.
That's really bizarr...
You should be able to right-click the 9mb unalocated space and delete it. Then right-click the main drive and 'Extend' it by those 9mb.
I've not known Windows do that without user input
