Re: New harddrive has no letter

[Guest Keven J. Nielsen]

I found my problem. While I was installing Windows Vista, I received the

message "Windows will copy startup files to the d: drive" or something like

that. Anyway, I didnt want my D: drive to have anything to do with the

operating system so I stopped the install and removed my D: drive and

restarted the install. After the install was complete, I put my D: drive

back in but it didnt register as a drive although it showed up in disk

manager as a healthy drive with no partition. I thought it was that I had

it formatted as FAT32 but it was always NTFS, the partition just got

damaged, probably when Windows Vista tried to change it without first

getting my permission.

 

I used the program "Partition Table Doctor 3.5" and it restored the

damaged partition and I suddenly had all my Data back, excellent.
