Windows Explorer missing "C" drive

[Guest Ronaldo]

Try Tweak UI to recall the drive letter. Download the application from the

next link, install it and on My Computer\Drives\right pane, select the C

check box.

 

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP

OR... Open a command prompt window (Start\All Programs\Accesories\Command

Prompt)

 

In the command window:

Type: DISKPART

Next to DISKPART> type; "LIST VOLUME" and hit Enter

A list of volumes or drives appears with volume number and letter (or

probably no letter on the system drive in your case)...

 

Next to DISKPART> type: "SELECT VOLUME #" (the number that corresponds

to

the system drive) and hit Enter

Now type: "ASSIGN LETTER C" and hit Enter, and type EXIT.

 

To put it simple... just open a command window and type five small commands

 

DISKPART

LIST VOLUME

SELECT VOLUME #

ASSIGN LETTER C

EXIT

Windows Explorer missing "C" drive

 

I'm working on a computer running XP SP2 that was badly corrupted with

spyware. When I open Windows Explorer the C (root) drive in not listed under

My Computer. It shows the A: drive which this system has, the DVD-RW Drive

(E:) and no other drives. The system also has a second DVD drive D: which

isn't listed.

If I go to Disk Management in the Computer Management console it shows Disk

0 as the C: drive and Healthy (system). I can right-click on the drive and

select Explore and it will appear in the My Computer section of Windows

Explorer.

 

Drive 0 also has a 31 MB FAT partition (EISA Configuration), the C:

partition is 148.98 GB FAT32.

 

I'm at a total loss on how to fix this one so your help will be

appreciatied.

 

Thanks,

Gregg

Thanks Ronaldo, I use Tweak so seldom I forget what a great tool it is.

All's well.
