Guest Gregg Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Windows Explorer missing "C" drive I'm working on a computer running XP SP2 that was badly corrupted with spyware. When I open Windows Explorer the C (root) drive in not listed under My Computer. It shows the A: drive which this system has, the DVD-RW Drive (E:) and no other drives. The system also has a second DVD drive D: which isn't listed. If I go to Disk Management in the Computer Management console it shows Disk 0 as the C: drive and Healthy (system). I can right-click on the drive and select Explore and it will appear in the My Computer section of Windows Explorer. Drive 0 also has a 31 MB FAT partition (EISA Configuration), the C: partition is 148.98 GB FAT32. I'm at a total loss on how to fix this one so your help will be appreciatied. Thanks, Gregg
