hi there myt windows recently corrupted but i had my data on another hdd but ic an get it to reda in computer managment i can see the name of the drive hwo much free space there is and so on it almost seems as though the only problem is that there is no drive letter and you cannot right click to create the drive letters and stuff like that.
Perhaps another drive in the system with the same letter? Open Disk Management, right-click the partition and select Change Drive Letter. Change it, reboot and see if it shows up.
the laptop crashed so i reinstalled windows. but you can see all the details of the data partition except for the fact that it does not have a drive letter. does this mean that everything on the drive is lost or is there a possibility of getting the data back
Did you have any Norton software installed prior to the crash? If so, try reinstalling that software, reboot and see what happens. I read that somewhere, but can't guarantee if it was for the exact same problem. Sounds familiar though.
Hi there i did have norton system works on there before the crash but switched it to nod32 after o i am uninstalling nod32 and am about to install system works and will see what happens. and let you know.
I used to like the Norton programs but over the years I've taken a dislike to them. The last time I had to deal with someone's PC, it took me about 4 hours over a period of three nights to try and remove it.
yea to remove it norton has had to make a free program which is solely designed to remove norton from your computer. I have taken a dislike to Norton to now. I got a new computer a couple of months ago and was really happy with it so i installed all my programs and then i went to partition my data partition and couldnt do it so i sent it back to the shop thinking tat it must have been a faulty drive. it was only Norton goback and they charged me $50
