    You will have to go into The Disk Management and activate that drive, no
    data will be lost.

    Here is how to get into Disk Management

    1. Start, Programs
    2. Administrative Tools
    3. Computer Management in computer management go the storage
    4. Right-click on the drive that you can not access and press activate
    partition and the after its done that right click on the same drive and
    assign a drive letter and then you will have access to the drive
