Hi,
I have a 120 GB hard drive with 4 NTFS partitions. It is the only hard drive
in my PC. Almost everything seems to be fine, but there is a mounting/drive
letter issue that I do not understand. Separate drive letters are assigned
to each partition and these appear in windows explorer correctly. When I run
disk management, however, the volume names appear for each of the
partitions but none of the drive letters associated with the volume names
appear. If I right click on any of those drive names, and select "Change
Drive Letter and Paths ." the dialog box that appears shows no mounted
drives, not even C: .
If I click on the Add button, the next dialog box offers me drive letters
starting with I, which is correct because all the lower ones are assigned
( although disk management doesn't seem to acknowledge this elsewhere). If
I select "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" and then Browse, no
volumes appear in the next dialog box. I'm giving all of this detail to
support my contention that it seems none of my partitions are mounted and
disk management doesn't appear to offer me a means to correct this. I've
looked on several other PCs and my PC appears to be anomalous.
So why do I care? I have Norton's Ghost 10.0 and it will only do incremental
backups on mounted drives. According to Ghost, I have NO mounted drives, not
even C:. This is consistent with what I see in disk management. But how do I
correct this situation? Any help or enlightenment would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Robert
