Two drive letters on USB HDD

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello,

My Western Digital 40Gb external USB HDD developed an error while I was
creating a small NTFS partition using Partition Magic. The HDD cannot be seen
in ‘My Computer’ but can be detected in Computer Management and by PM. The
drive was originally M but now shows as:

Local Disk (M:) (*) with a full path (\\.\disk7.part1\)

In addition, four unknown removable storage devices (E, F, G and H) have
appeared in ‘My Computer’.

When I connect the HDD to my work PC, I can read the files and it can be
seen in ‘My Computer’ as:

Local Disk (M:) (E:)


I am running Win XP Pro SP2.

Any help much appreciated.
