Second Partition not showing under My Computer on Win 2008 R2

I setup an old Dell PE 2850 with Windows 2008 Standard R2 for testing purpose. The server has 6 36GB drives that I setup all as Raid 5. During the install of Windows 2008 R2 I was given the option to install Windows on the entire allocated diskspace of about 169GB, but I went ahead and created a new partition of about 80GB to install the OS and remaining left as second partition.

After I installed Windows 2008 Standard R2, I went to Server Manager>Storage Disk Management and was able to see the unallocated space in graphical view after C partition. I right clicked on second partition and setup with drive letter and formatted as NTFS. Next I rebooted the server but unable to see the second partition “Data” under My Computer.

Do I need to get commercial software such as Partition Manager so that second partition is showing or I missed a step?

Thanks…B
