Answer» Hi, I have not used my pc for some time, I had two 60gb Maxtor hd's on this machine. Now when I check my computer it shows C:, A:, E: is my dvd/cd rw drive. F: is my dvd ram drive, and it now shows G: as a dvd drive. D: which used to hold music/movies etc is no longer their and when I click G: it asks me to insert a cd.
Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thank You.A drive can't change into something it isn't...what has happened is your drive letter assignments have somehow gotten wonked. But we need more info: What OS ? Do any of the HDD's have more than one partition on them ? Is your RAM drive a physical drive ? ?
To make this easiest list things as they were before this happened...
I.E. :
Hard drive #1 = C: Hard drive #2 = D: etcetera...
And then list them as they are now...
patio. 8-)Well I am running WinXP Pro, SP 2, and before this happened :
A:\ C:\ (1st hd) D:\ (2nd hd) E:\ (dvd/cd rw) F:\ (dvd ram)
Currently I do not have a D:\, but a G:\ which is being listed as a DVD Drive. If I right click and click eject, no tray pops open..
im not sure if any of the drives have more then one partition? can you tell me how to check?
appreciate the help.. thanx According to your list of how it used to be probably not...
Right click on My Computer and select MANAGE...then choose Disk Management.
Post a list of the drives and how they are listed. Don't make any changes at this time...
patio. 8-)OK, so heres how its listed -
Disk 0 Basic (c:\) 57.26 GB online
CD-Rom 0 DVD (e:\) No MEDIA
CD-Rom 1 DVD (f:\) No Media
CD-Rom 2 DVD (g:\) No Media
?Pretty strange indeed...
Unplug all but C: and try re-connecting them one at a time while POWERED down. Watch the Post screen to see if the BIOS is recognising them. Do this for each one until you find the culprit.
