As it was mentioned, Windows only show the 99 mb system reserved partition. I'm using it with a SATA-USB cable, as it is not mine, I just want to make it able to use. It is a 320 gb Western Digital SATA HDD.
Any help would be appreciated.

If the disk is not making any strange sounds and there is no useful data in it, just try to create a new partition using windows disk managment.
If there is usefull data you are trying to recover, use some logical recovery software on it, like R-Studio.

Drive may also have some partition encryption scheme that won't allow for the "big" partition to mount.
