Accidentally ejected Windows HD from desktop

:eek: I've just done something really stupid and accidentally ejected my Windows HD from my Mac desktop. For some reason the system decided it was to be called "NO NAME" and it uses the same name for my small flash drives. Sometimes they seem to have a slow game of leapfrog with one icon sitting on top of the other. Usually I move the top one to make sure there's nothing underneath. Unfortunately this time when ejecting the flash drive I didn't double check and my Windows "NO NAME" was what I ejected.
It isn't there for me to use in System Preferences so could someone tell me how to fix the situation so that I can get into the few programs I need to use that won't run on my Mac desktop. I've only been using a Mac (Mac OSX) for 2 months so very inexperienced with the way things work on this machine.
Thanks very much.
 
Just accidentally ejected my time machine backup disk. Had no idea how to get it back. Did a Google search and found this. Disk Utility; select grayed out disk; choose mount!

Thanks a zillion!:)
 
Or less disruptive than a restart, just unplug and replug the drive (perfectly safe since the drive is already "ejected"). Of course this doesn't work with internal/partition drives.
