"start,programs,accesories,system tools and then clicked on drive space, it said his drive was empty.It's not compressed"
DriveSpace is a hard drive compression system. (It compresses the entire hard drive into a single file and hooks all file-system calls.) If it doesn't show the drive, that's because it's not compressed using DriveSpace. (Never use DriveSpace - Windows is bad enough without adding even more buggy software between you and saving your data...)
What you want to do is:
Open "My Computer".
Right-click on the drive named "something (C
".
Select "Properties".
You should see a dialog showing your drive's stats.
If that's showing "0 KB used" then run Scandisk. (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Scan Disk).
