Re: XP does not assign drive letter to External SATA HDD

Thank you John. I will remove GoBack.
I have had it for a 10 month but, I never use it.
How about Ghost?
What do you think about Ghost?
Should I remove it also?
Let me know if you have any suggestion.

Tom.

Put it back in the laptop and uninstall GoBack on it. GoBack has a
non-standard MBR and Vista cannot read the drive properly. However, I
wouldn't do that without a FULL working backup of the files that you
want to keep! Screw ups with GoBack can cause you to lose all the data
on the drive! I would network the laptop to the Vista computer and
transfer the files that way, or put another drive in the USB enclosure
and move the files off the GoBack disk to the USB disk. Then I would
permanently get rid of GoBack!
