Local drive doesn't appear more !

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 7.0 (SP4) with 1 phisical disk drive and 3 logical
partitions (C, D, E). This happened unexpectedly when I was deleting a
database.
I can see normally the letter E in windows explorer, but it doesn't appear
and permit me more create a database em that letter.
Any idea ?
Regards,
Vitor MauricioCheck file permissions to ensure the SQL Server service account has full
permissions to the root folder.
Hope this helps.

Adding to Dan's post, deleting a database would not have done anything
to your partitions, or your file system security settings. This would
have been a separate operation.

I check the file permission and everything is ok. In the event viewer I
cant see any error.
I never see this before, but the problems continue.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
