I hope someone can help me please.

I was trying to transfer data from my laptop HD in external enclosure
to my desktop. PM froze up while resizing the partition on the laptop
HD and now no drive letter.

I had to make the partition smaller to match the space I had left on
the desktop HD to ghost it there.

If you were transferring data from the laptop drive to a desktop drive
why would you re-size the laptop's drive???

Oh ... to match the desktop comp's smaller drive!

You can't pour a gallon of liquid into a quart jar unless you break the
gallon jug which makes perfect sense except with computers.

Well anyway you screwed up so just reinstall the OS to the laptop and
learn from the mistake.

My what a helpful post, or waste of time, you choose.

The desktop is not even in the picture yet. I was resizing the laptop
partition before I ghosted it so that the ghost image would fit on the
available space on the desktop. The problem occurred while resizing the
laptop partition, has nothing to do with the desktop so your reply
makes no sense. I made no mistake other than being impatient and not
waiting to acquire another hard drive with enough room and also to
backup the info first.

Please find something else to do with your time, you're not very
helpful here.

No need to resize the partition, just use maximum compression in ghost.

MUCH safer.

Your mistake was to not use maximum compression so that it would fit,
or if you need a true clone and not an image, to not image it before you
used PM. If you had imaged it before using PM, you could have recovered
trivially by just restoring the image and trying the resize again.
