drive letter missing

[Guest Ron54]

I have a PC with 2 hard drives (C & E). I recently lost my C drive and had

to replace and rebuild it. I am running XP Pro and I am unable to access my

E drive. It shows a volume of 'Gateway II' and I am unable to assign a drive

letter to this volume. I have approx 30gb of information on this drive.

 

Does anyone have any ideas for me?

It isn't one of those PC Angel protected partitions is it? Can Computer

Management (compmgmt.msc) see it (click on Disk Management)? If so, just

assign it a drive letter by right clicking on the partition.

Re: drive letter missing

 

Ron, was the original configuration of the drives a Dynamic or Basic one?

If Dynamic, it maybe more of a headache retrieving data from E. If Basic,

did you reinstall WinXP on C:

with E: still connected?
