How do you make C drive accessible again...?

I recently lost the ability to click through my C Drive on Windows Vista due to installation problems with Oracle XE version 11g. Does anyone know how I can reactivate the C drive again because now its showing it has zero memory when I know its not the case.

Also, in permissions, all of the checkboxes are checked for my username (ie Full control, read, write, etc.) So I'm stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Please be descriptive.

    All I can suggest is shut down the computer....make sure it's completely down, and then unplug it for a few minutes.

    Start it back up and see if that gets it back.

    If not, you shutting it down again, unplug it, make sure you don't have any static charge.....and then carefully open the case and unplug the cable to the drive. Leave it off a few minutes....put everything back, get it started again and see if that does it.

    You may also have to go into the BIOS......when you do see if the drive is listed in the POST, or boot sequence. Maybe something happened there that bumped it from this process.

    Good luck
