Hi

I can't tell from your picture what isn't showing is it drive J, which appears to be there but showing no content.
If you look in file manager, can you see the Drive and access it?

If not...

First thing I would do it look at Disk Manager and see if it's visible there.
If it shows a usable but has been deactivated somehow, you can probably fix it there. If it's not visible, then is gets more complicated.

Right-click on the start button and click "Disk Management".
You should see all the disks partitions that are in your computer.

Or look at this if it's the drive I, just noticed that.

Don't know if that will help, I see you've asked elsewhere, so maybe you found your answer.
