Hello! I have some problem. I can't see some my HDD in My computer. In
DiskManagement unable to see HDD too. Only Device Manager recognize HDD
with
model number. I can't do any operations with drive, because even
diskmgmt.msc
dont see it. I did system restore - no results. Can someone help me? I
don't
want to make reoair from boot CD now...
With best regards, Alexandr.
When did this start? What changed between the time things worked and when
the problem showed up? Have you tried a system restore to before his
happened?
What was the drive letter that had been assigned to this drive? Download
tweakui, one of the MS powertoys, install and run it. Under My Computer
make sure the drive letter that should have been assigned to that drive has
not been hidden.
