Missing disk when mounting database in SQL Management Studio 2005

I am trying to connect an external mdf file to a SQLEXPRESS instance from SQL Management Studio 2005. However, I cannot see the drive that the database file is in under the Directory Browser under Locate Database Files.

Is there anything preventing my disk from being recognized by Studio Management or the SQL instance? The drive itself is a local drive installed on my computer.

Check root permissions. The folder browser runs under the ID SQL Engine, which may not have access to this drive.
