Help! Opening Disk Managemnt produces this error and then eplorer opens; "C:\The system cannot find

[Uncle John]

Please excuse double post caused by an unexpected shutdown of my PC
followed by a restore with Acronis

I would like help in fixing this problem

My system has developed an irritating error when using the MMC Computer
Management\Disk Management:
All the tools work EXCEPT that if I click open on any disk I get a loud
bleep and the following error message:

"C:\
The system cannot find the device specified
OK
"

The drive letter will be that of the disk I am attempting to open and
after the message the disk opens in Explorer view.All devices present in
Device Manager are working correctly.
I have hunted high and low to find the source of this error without
success. can anyone help?

I suspect that something went wrong during the restoration.
If this was my disk then I would do this:
- Copy all partitions to a spare disk
- Repartition the original disk
- Restore the partitions
I would perform the copy operation either under a
Bart PE boot or on some other WinXP/2000 PC. Post
again if you need further details on how to do this.
