This method will not get you your data back:

- Open Disk Manager (search for it in start) and let it load.

- Right click the partition on the disk and select expand volume.

- Follow the instructions.


- If that doesn't work, delete the partition on the disk by right clicking it and selecting Delete Volume or Delete Partition.

- Right click the disk and click Create Simple Volume.

- Assign a letter and name, select NTFS and Quick Format and make sure all the space on the disk is included in the new partition (it should be by default).
