Re: lost my F drive

I am there, in Disk Management, I see the drive. But how do I get it back
visibly in Windows Explorer? I described my work-around, but I know that the
drive should show in Windows Explorer as F:\New Volume. That is what I want
back.

Can you tell me how to get it back showing up in Windows Explorer?

Thanks.

Is it assigned a drive letter in Disk Management? If not, that's why it doesn't show in Explorer. Right-click on it and choose Change Drive Letter or Paths. Choose a letter, and you're done.
