Please start a new thread instead of tagging on to an old thread. Explain your problem in detail instead of saying "similar". Also please post a screen shot of your disks in Windows Disk Management. ( Please remove any other external drives/pen drives/Card readers to avoid confusion)

The only thing I would add to the above tut:

Go to the Tool bar on the Disk Management Screen, click on " Show/Hide Console Tree" and "Show/Hide Actiion Pane" so that we get a full screen view without those.
