When managment console is open, disk management shows Local Disk with no
drive letter. In Windows Explorer it shows as C: and the same for many other
applications. If I right-click on Local Disk and select Channge Drive Letter,
C is not available.

When I attempt to back up this drive using Norton Ghost 12, it shows as an
unmounted drive thereby eleiminating certain option available only to mounted
drives.

How do I get the drive letter C: to appear?

Has C been appended to another partition? It is normally allocated to a
System Partition.

Is the computer dual or multi booting?

Hope this helps.

Gerry,

Thanks for getting back to me.

It is the system (boot) disk. I had Norton Ghost 9 set to do 1 complete back
up each week with incrementals in between. Then I installed an HP networable
ink jet printer and Norton reverted to only full back ups

Recently, I upgraded to version 12, but it said that it could only perform
"independent recovery points (full back ups) because I selected an unmounted
drive".

I opened MMC and selected Disk Management. My system drive shows as
Local-Basic-NTFS, but has no drive letter. Other PCs show as drive C:

The problem PC is a Dell with C; formatted as NTFS and two other shares with
back up sofware formatted as FAT and reinstall files formatted as FAT32.
After the HP was installed, all three of these shares show with drive letters
in Windows Explorer, but no drive letters in Disk Management.

Gerry,

It hasn't fixed the problem, but thanks for trying to help. Would there be
any other suggestions?
