Re: Recycle Bin - Add a drive to...

Dean

Are they two drives or one drive divided into two partitions. You can
see which in Disk Management. If two drives they be labelled Disk 0 and
Disk 1 If a single drive divided into two it will be Disk 0 with one
under Status showing as Healthy (System) and the other as Healthy.

Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings and
verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is checked
and "Hide protected operating system files " is unchecked. You may need
to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that
the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked.
Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is selected and then
select View, Choose Details and check before Name, Type, Total Size, and
Free Space.

Now see if you see the Recyler folder. They are sub-folders of the
partition e.g. c:\Recycler.

The drive is seen in the Disk Management area.
The build was a complete reformat and rebuild by our IT department.
The worrying thing is that other machines here have been through the
same process have the E: tab on the RB proporties and work fine. [Why
is it always my machine that has problems!? ;-)]
I don't know what Tool/Utility was used to create the partitions.
We don't use Norton here, it is McAfee.
Where would I find the Recycler folder on either the C: or E:. A quick
search has found nothing on both drives.
I have passed on the URL to the IT chappies looking into this problem.
Thanks

Are the partitions properly recognised in Disk Management? Start,
Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk
Management.

What Tool / Utility was used to create the Partitions?

Are you using any Norton products?

In Windows Explorer is there a Recycler folder for your E partitions?

Some notes from Kelly's web site. You will need to scroll down some
way to find those relating to the Recycle Bin.

Thanks for the rapid response.

Unfortuantely, I have already looked into this but there is no
option in RB Properties to add a new drive. I have two tabs, Global
and System (C:), that is all.

Thanks

Right click on the Recycle Bin on your Desktop and select
Properties. Create the requirements you want.

Recently had a rebuild from Windows 2000 to XP and the hard drive
has been partitioned to C: and E: (before it was C: and D:).
Anyway, I have noticed that the Recycle Bin only has a tab for the
C: and anything deleted from the E: does not appear in the RB.

How can I add the E: to the RB?

Many thanks in advance.
