    my windows explorer does not show any other drive except OS: C and external removable drive. Even when selected with show hidden file option in folder menu, it shows one sibgle c drive.

    How to assign a letter to this 5 gb drive that only to be seen in disk management window??

    thanks
    In Disk Mgmt rightclick on partition to assign a letter, then rightclick to Explore.

    If this fails, install Partition Wizard to rightclick partition, add a letter, again rightclick to Explore.

    After right clicking, it has two active option
    1. Delete Volume
    2. Help
    Then I think I need to install partition wizard.
    Thanks again.
