What O.S. are yopu running?
I'm assuming win9x or below here.
Try doing a SYS on the drive, if that fails then FDISK /MBR

If you are running Win9x you will need to get a program like Partition Magic. This program will allow you to change the Partition without losing any data. If data is not important then you want to do an FDISK. Then reinstall your OS and programs

If you are using WindowsNT then you want to go to Disk Administrator under common tools and fix the problem there
