You will need to open up the disk management window on you computer. To do this open up the control panel and search for "partition" then click the link that says "Create and format hard disk partitions". From here you can view and modify all the partitions on any disk on your computer.

If the computer has a windows operating system and the hard disk has more than one partition, My Computer or Windows Explorer will show each partition as a local drive.

For instance, if you have two partitions, My Computer or Windows Explorer will show partition #1 as Local drive c:\, and partition #2 as local drive d:\, and will bump the CD or DVD drive to the next available letter, in this case e:\, and so on.
