Can not acces partition

[blazone]

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 Win7 and "e" is storage which i can not acces from win7.
Please, is there some way how to open it without formating?
Cause there is a lot of stuff :sarc:

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.

Hope it helps

Well, i have done it like you wrote it but when i try to open it...:

"E:\ is not accesible.
The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable."

But i know that it is all right...

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 win7 to xp, copy that thing into win7 system disk and relog back to win7
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:

Finally, put the drive back under winxp, then both partitions shows up and read/write able, while the live Gparted CD and EASEUS Partition Magic@seven can't recognize it.
