all other drives show and in disk management the H drive shows fine

probably something simple but any ideas on whats up?

check the bios settings or PLUG IT IN

there you go



all the drives have separate drive letters C & H for boot drives,I R O P Q D J N are all storage
all drives except the H drive show in my computer so they have their letters in place
the H drive shows under vista so it hasnt changed and i am on the W7 install right now

Run CMD as administrator and the enter bcdedit ... this prints out the current BCD out

Mine is like this and mine is Vista / Win 7 too
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit

The osdevice bit above might give a clue, sadly I can't find the relevant article just yet and am not on my normal pc just now, if I can find it I will try what I found.

Can't remember what I did with mine, it was last year during the RTM release, I think I changed the letters using storage management eg changed C(Vista) to D, and then D(7) to C, but I honestly cannot remember if I used storage management or if I used neowin easybcd . Sorry I cant help further unitl I get back to my other system back, and cannot be sure if that still contains the link I used:(
