Guest Ron54 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 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? -- Need desperate help

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. -- Bill Gateway Celeron M 370 (1.5GHZ) MX6124 (laptop) w/2GB Windows XP Home SP2 (120GB HD) Intel® 910GML (64MB shared)
Guest Rich Barry Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 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?
