Installed XP Home, no drive letter in Disk Management

G

Guest

I recently installed an upgrade version of XP. When I go into disk
management, there's
no drive letter assigned to my C drive, but when I go into Windows Explorer,
it shows
the C drive. I've tried diskpart.exe to see if I can 'restore' the disk
letter,
but it does't work. diskpart.exe also shows no drive letter, but it does
show the
drive.
Here's what diskpart shows:

Microsoft DiskPart version 5.1.3565

Copyright (C) 1999-2003 Microsoft Corporation.

On computer: SERVER

DISKPART> list volume

Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
--------- --------
Volume 0 E CD-ROM 0 B
Volume 1 D DVD-ROM 0 B
Volume 2 Server NTFS Partition 466 GB Healthy

DISKPART>

As you can see, there's no drive letter for Volume 2, which is my C drive.

Disk management won't let me change the drive letter.

Any ideas how I can correct this problem?

Thanks

Start a Command Prompt and post the output from this command:
mountvol.exe
