I have installed the Windows 7 on my computer along with windows 2000 and xp. 2000 is c: drive and Xp is d: drive and lord knows where the windows 7 went to but it works. I have my hard drive in three partitions and when installing 7 I selected the third partition which should be e: but e: never shows up with the files of 7 but looks like the 7 files are on c: When going to computer in 7 e: drive is not there...does not show up. Did I do something wrong? It seems to have loaded just fine. A lot to learn.

Before you get too far along, Be sure you understand that C and D and such are relative to the way the system booted. This is only MS's silly way of doing stuff. It has little to do with real partitions. See the sizes and real partitions to be sure. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

"in 7 e: drive is not there...does not show up" If you need to access that drive in Win7 go to disk managment and asssign a drive letter to it. Otherwise leave it, it's still there just not visable and files won't be accidently deleted on that partition. Whichever OS you boot to will be drive C: to that system, the other partitions will be reassigned.
