Hard drive volume letter not displaying
Hi,
I just installed a new seagate Serial ATA hard drive. It is connected directly to the motherboard. When I rebooted the computer the drive didn't display under My Computer. It is visble in system management, and Win XP Prof 03 indicates it is functioning normally. How can I display the drive volume letter? -- Tman |

Use TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp (Make sure you do not get the 64 bit version) Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for Windows XP Its My Computer - Drives make sure that the letter assigned in Computer Management - Disk Management is checked to be visible -- Alex Nichol MS MVP (Windows Technologies) Bournemouth, U.K. (remove the D8 bit) |
