What do you see in admin tools | computer management | disk managmeent? Does
it show up in there? You can assign it the (available) drive letter of your
choice, therein.
 
Thanks for the quick reply.

It shows up as E, I changed to R but access is still denied, so I
changed back to E. Is there anyway to bring back or reinstate the
share? There is no share tab now.

yikes!

Hi - please don't snip out all quoted text in your replies; it makes it
difficult for other people (and me, unless I've had enough coffee) to follow
the thread.

The hidden admin share (E$, R$, whatever) doesn't have anything to do with
your device's ability to show up in Windows - and you didn't mention
anything about 'access denied'.

Does the device show up in Explorer?

Are you trying to access this device from across a network? If so, set up a
share - not the admin share, either, but a new share, not hidden, like
"USBDRIVE" or something, and set the security in the share & NTFS properties
as you choose.
