| Installed XP Home, no drive letter in Disk Management I recently installed an upgrade version of XP. When I go into disk management, there's no drive letter assigned to my C drive, but when I go into Windows Explorer, it shows the C drive. I've tried diskpart.exe to see if I can 'restore' the disk letter, but it does't work. diskpart.exe also shows no drive letter, but it does show the drive. Here's what diskpart shows: Microsoft DiskPart version 5.1.3565 Copyright (C) 1999-2003 Microsoft Corporation. On computer: SERVER DISKPART> list volume Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info --------- -------- Volume 0 E CD-ROM 0 B Volume 1 D DVD-ROM 0 B Volume 2 Server NTFS Partition 466 GB Healthy DISKPART> As you can see, there's no drive letter for Volume 2, which is my C drive. Disk management won't let me change the drive letter. Any ideas how I can correct this problem? Thanks      |
