Can you access Disk Management and what do you see there - post a picture of it.

hi thanks for reply..

how do i do that? (disk management)

Type Disk Management into the start/search field and you'll see. When you have it, maximize it, take a snip with the snipping tool (in all programs > accessories) and post it here (with the paper clip above the message posting field).
