lost my F drive

[Guest Richard Mitnick]

I have an external hard drive that I use for mp3 files. It used to show up as

F:\New Volume in Windows Explorer. I recently did a major cleanup of this

computer, temps, registry, and defrag. Now, my F drive does not show up on

Windows Explorer.

 

Mind you, it is there and it works. When I launch a music file in WMP, Real,

or Winamp, the music plays, and it is all on this drive. Also, I did a search

on My Computer for "F:" and it came up. I quickly pulled a shortcut off to

the desktop so that I could access the drive. I just added files to it which

did show up in WMP as they are supposed to. But, I can not access the drive

in Windows Explorer.

 

How can I get the F drive to show up again in Windows Explorer?

 

Any help will be appreciated.

admin tools, computer

management and then right

click on that disk/device

to explore.

Re: lost my F drive

 

I am there, in Disk Management, I see the drive. But how do I get it back

visibly in Windows Explorer? I described my work-around, but I know that the

drive should show in Windows Explorer as F:\New Volume. That is what I want

back.

 

Can you tell me how to get it back showing up in Windows Explorer?

 

Thanks.

Is it assigned a drive letter in Disk Management? If not, that's why it

doesn't show in Explorer. Right-click on it and choose Change Drive Letter

or Paths. Choose a letter, and you're done.
