Logical Drives <> Disk Management...?

[Kenneth]

Howdy,

I am having an odd experience with the Drive letter
assignments to my four partitions.

I have two 80 Gig physical drives in the box.

When I look at My Computer the list of Local Drives shows
C:, E:, and G.

That might seem fine, except when I go into Disk Management
in Computer Management it shows the four partitions as

C: (No letter)

(No letter) (No letter)



I do not mean by that that it displays "No letter" but that
no letter is assigned.

The same is true in the list in the upper pane: Of the four
partitions listed, only one has a Drive Letter, and that is
C:.

If (still in Disk Manager) I try to assign a Drive Letter to
one of the partitions that appears not to have one, the
first available letter is "F:" and the next is "H:" so the
system really "thinks" that "E:" and "G:" are assigned.

I should add that all four partitions have been formatted
within the last 24 hours. I did the active one, then
restored a full image to it. I then booted to it, and
formatted the other three from within Windows.

Might you assist in unknotting this?

Sincere thanks,

Try rescan disk from the disk management console.
I has the same problem. Did you check the event viewer?
ARe you using some array controller?

Hi Gustavo,

The re-scan did not help, I spot nothing in the event viewer
that looks related (but don't know what I should be looking
for), and no, I am not using an array controller.

I thank you for your suggestions,

Hello again,

My problem is resolved...!

It was due to a missing PartMgr entry in a particular
Registry Key.

Thanks,
