How is this possible? What do you mean, it's not recognised in your computer?
while(sleeping)
    cat_wails();
wake_up();
for(i=0;i<9;i++)
    shoot_cat();
rejoice();
goto(bed);

Make sure it has a drive letter. Go into Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management and choose Disk Management from the left pane. Right-click the drive, pick "Change Drive Letter" and start fiddling.
while(sleeping)
    cat_wails();
wake_up();
for(i=0;i<9;i++)
    shoot_cat();
rejoice();
goto(bed);

No problem. Glad I could help.

    cat_wails();
wake_up();
for(i=0;i<9;i++)
    shoot_cat();
rejoice();
goto(bed);
