    Start > Control Panel > Classic View
    Computer Management
    Select the "Disc Management" option.

    All your drives will be listed, and one of them will be missing a drive letter. Right click on the right hand rectangle of this drive (not where it says Disc 2 or whatever, the one to the right of that), and select "Change Drive Letters"

    A new window will come up. Click "Add", and select a letter to allocate to the drive from the dropdown list.
    OK out of all of that, and it should come up in Computer.
