Hi

I originally had an AFDD), Cprimary HDD), Dslave
HDD) and ECDROM) drives. After I plugged in a Sandisk
CF card reader my D: drive seems to have disappeared.

Even when I now unplug the USB card reader and reboot,
the D: drive does not appear.

At first the card reader became D: but I reassigned it to
drive letter Z: through disk management in Administrative
tools. Even after disconnet of the card reader and a
reboot it will not appear anywhere.

Can anyone help here?

The drive should still show up in Disk Managment but I bet it isn't
assigned a drive letter. You just need to reassign a drive letter to it.

Hi

The disk shows up in the device manager list and says
that there are no problems with it but it doesn't present
in the disk management list so that I can assign a drive
letter to it.

Is this where you are suggesting I change the drive
letter?

I don't understand then. Any physical drive should show up in Disk
Managment. It doesn't matter even if it has a valid partion or not since
that is where you create a partition. Nothing with a USB memory drive
could impact that. Are you sure it is the correct drive you are seeing
in device manager? If a drive doesn't show in Disk Managment it can
really only be 2 problems, there is not a driver loaded for the
controller it is on or there is a hardware problem.
