Default My Computer not detecting my external harddrive

I have a IDE hard drive with USB casing and connected to my USB port.
The problem is the hard drive partitions are not shown up in My computer.
But My Computer-Manage-Storage-Disk management shows the hard drive with
3 partitions and all the three are healthy.I know there are a few bad sectors.
I am sure I have not made any changes in registry that prevents drives from
being shown.
Please help me.

Do the partitions have drive letters assigned?
