Windows 7: Can not acces partition

Hello , I have 2 hdds, one is cuted into two partitions "c" and "e" and second hdd is "d" (dvd-rom is "f")
So... on "c" i have instaled Win XP, on "d" i have Windows 7 and "e" is storage which i can not acces from Windows 7.
Please, is there some way how to open it without formating?
Cause there is a lot of stuff

Hello blazone and welcome to SevenForums!

Go to Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management.

On the left pane , open Disk Management.

You will see in the list a partition without a drive letter. Right click on it, choose "Change drive letters and paths" and press ADD to add a letter to the partition.

Then you can see it fine.

Hello wan3350,

Welcome to the Seven Forums.

Are you saying that after closing the disk management console and rebooting the computer, you still can't complete the operation?

Yes sir, still unable to allocate the drive after restart. . thousand my very important files inside there. While i tried to fix using EASUES Partition Magic.. the disc found as BAD.

yy, i have exactly that problem...
disk is all right but win 7 is showing it as bad...
i have xp on first hdd so it is not very bad, but if i want something from "e" i must relog from Windows 7 to xp, copy that thing into Windows 7 system disk and relog back to Windows 7
a little f...ed

oh btw... in disk manager that "bad" disk allready has its name (letter) so i can not change it...
i think...
the only solution is format but that's the last option

this is what is in disk management:

Thanks for the info, need someone who have problem before to give further advise
