Did u try Disk management in the administrative tools and check whether that partition is with free space or of unknown file system type.
If possible try to remove from disk management tool or any third party tool like partition magic.

can u post a screen shot of the disk management.

FYI
To navigate there
control panel-> administrative tools->computer management-> disk management.

sory for late reply

my net at home is not working ... so cant post the image also (disk mgmt)

also

My disk mgmt shows only C: , D: , E: and F: only

doesnt show the extra image created of E: i.e. J:

and also the erroneous K: as shown in the pic of My Computer.
