    So you mean you cannot see your drive in windows explorer?

    I cannot see my local hard drive C or D in windows explorer. I know that it's there somewhere because when I ran my virus scan it scanned my C drive files.
    Thanks

    See if this helps

    go to run

    Type gpedit.msc
    Click OK

    In the tree go to
    User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer

    In the right window look for 'Hide these specified drives in My Computer'
    Properties on that item and see if that has been tampered with

    Edit:
    If that doesn't work try running regedit and go to

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]

    And check if "NoViewOnDrive" is there, if so delete it
