Hidden Hard Drive

[Guest]

I have 2 hard drives on my computer. Drive C and drive F. I've hid drive F
because I didn't want my son to save files on the drive. But, I'm also
unable to access that drive. I cannot remember how I hid the drive and need
access to it. I have donwloaded Tweak UI and placed a check mark on the
drive, but when I try to access it tells me I don't have administrative
authority. I do remember placing a check mark on a dialog box that displayed
both drives. But I cannot find a way to undo the action. Your help would be
greatly appreciated.

maybe you just unassigned the drive letter from disk management

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any suggestions on how to correct the
problem?

Default procedure to "hide" a drive is to append "$" - such as "C$". You
should be able to access the drive by: Start>run>cmd>c$ - subsisting your
drive designation "F$"
