Hi XoxMa - Welcome to w7forums

First Question - Do you have data you don't want to loose on the second partition that is not being seen? If not you could try installing Window 7 to the second drive.

Second Question - What would happen if you marked the third partition Active? Don't try this unless you are willing to use the "Windows 7 Repair DVD" because of failure to boot.

Third Question - Did you want the 9GB unallocated space at the beginning of the drive? - I have often seen smaller spaces unallocated but never anything over 20MB

Did you try the suggestion to repopulate, on the thread on the other site you visited?

No, it does read whole hard drive, but because of the safety features, sometime you have to add your hard drive manually. To do so, use Computer Management.
