Welcome!
Could you please post a screenshot of your Disk Management window please?
I suspect it is just missing a letter, that's all. Right-click on the 50GB partition in disk management and click Assign drive letter.

Open an elevated cmd and type vssadmin list shadowstorage. That will show you the amount thy system has grabbed for restore points. Look for the number after allocated. This is the only way to make that part of the disk visible - you see that no place else. Here is how to deal with elevated cmd:
How to run Command Prompt (cmd)
Cmd needs to be run in elevated mode (as administrator). We want to avoid the need to set it to elevated mode every time we use it. Therefore we will make a permanent setting. These are the steps:
· Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories
· Right click on Command Prompt and go to Properties
· Click on Advanced and check the box that says Run as Administrator
· OK> Apply>OK (do not forget the Apply-else it will not be set)
From now on, cmd will always run in elevated mode. I also suggest to make a shortcut of cmd. In Accessories, right click again and either Send to Desktop or Pin to Start Menu or Pin to Taskbar.
hey thanks for the reply but i was not allowed acess to the thing in cmd so i posted a screenshot hope the help

thanks that helped but its quite unfair that we pay for more and get less but i suppose thats life
1. You did not run cmd in elevated mode. You apparently did not follow my instructions. If you do, it will work.
2. There is no drive letter to be assigned. The 50GB (if it is the assigned shadowstorage) are part of C.
3. Plus have a look of what Theog posted. The 50GB missing is probably only 40GB because of the binary versus decimal counting.
but this still means there still 30gb missing
any more suggestion will great
