Where did my hardrive go?

So i upgraded to vista business over the weekend through the MSDNAA web portal my school provided me with. This allowed for me to download a LEGAL copy of vista due to their partnership with the e-academy.

When prompted to clean install or merely upgrade, the upgrade option was removed and i was forced to clean install after moving all 111GB to my external HD, and deleting a folder called "Program Data" which had nothing in it.

Now, however, even though vista says it formatted my HD on the install, my HD shows as still having the 111GB in question, but now i cannot access ANY files or programs on it, and i cannot format it due it holding vista's OS. I want my stuff w/o having to use the external as a medium. How can i access my C drive???!!!!
