HELP! Where is my second partition?

[Guest]

I got my new computer (A real tech beast), and while installing my windows
vista 32-bit premium edition, I devided the HD to two partitions.
Now when I open My Computer, I can't see the second partition.
I wanted to rename both of the partitions to "System" & "Files" as I do on
all of my new computers, but I can't do that if I don't see my second
partition. Morever, I can't USE half of my HD!

Can anybody PLEASE help me? :*(
I don't wanna have to format & start all over again...
Please... I'm even a bit scared...

Did you format the partition that you cannot see?

My guess is you haven't yet given the partition a drive letter. So, it's
not showing up in My Computer. Go to Computer Management ==> Disk
Management. Right-click on the partition (hopefully, it's there) and select
Change Drive Letter and Paths. I don't know if you formatted the drive
during installation, so if the option to change the drive letter isn't
there, I'll guess there's one about formatting (where you should be able to
assign a drive letter). That's all from memory, though, since I don't have
any unpartitioned/unformatted space to reference. It's been a while since
I've done that, too.

You are a savior!!!
The solution wasn't 100% exact, But it WAS about 90%... 10% I can deal with.
The Partition (Now Named "(D Files" is formating itself right now (It did
that automatically after I assigned a name).
THANK YOU!!!
