So I shrinked the volume of existing partition and then using the free space available made a new partition and gave the drive letter to it as "A" . After restarting pc "A" has completely disappeared. Disk management shows that there is partition(with same space as with which I created "A") , but now disk management shows blank name for it. It doesn't let me modify the drive letter, doesn't let me delete the space, doesn't let me do anything with the "A" drive. Its not even showing up in explorer. How do I get it back? Ill pay 0.01BTC to the person who solves it.

Are you able to access the "A" partition through command promt? Try this if you can delete that partition. Open Command Prompt.
Type:
diskpart
At the DISKPART prompt, type:
list disk
Make note of the disk number of the disk from which you want to delete the partition.
At the DISKPART prompt, type:
select diskn
Select the disk n from which you want to delete the partition.
At the DISKPART prompt, type:
list partition
Make note of the number of the partition that you want to delete.
At the DISKPART prompt, type:
select partitionn
Select the partition n that you want to delete.
At the DISKPART prompt, type:
delete partition Also try this: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1822419/hard-drive-partition-showing-windows.html

Right-click the similar partition, then choose “Change Drive Letters and Paths” (can help add, change, and remove drive letter), and click Add and ok button. After that, assign a new drive letter for this partition

Firstly try only to change the A letter to something else like, f,g,h,...A was a really bad choice Can you just gimme a how to link for using a Linux dist to repair it? And it doesn't let me Change it. I guess the issue is arising cuz "A" is default for floppy drive. For other : I have already tried your ways, they are not working, the disk management and cmd tool shows that the partition is inaccessible or cannot be found.

I'm happy that you solved that issue. I tried to contribute as much as I could with my knowledge that i have. My address is always on my profile but I have also sent you a PM now, I appreciate it. P.S When you reinstalled windows you sat a drive letter to that partition or it was visible after accessing My Computer after reinstall? Edit: Received 0.001BTC
