I had C:, D, and H: (USB) before I partitioned my D: drive with Partition
Magic: (E: and F: are CD drives.)
I wanted to add 3 more partitions to D: (which I did) and they now are G:,
H:, and I: showing in "My Computer"
BUT...now my USB drive does not show (I can find it in DOS mode as K:) and
also in UltraEdit it shows up as K: drive, and in UltraEdit it shows a J:
drive that is not accessible but shows a + sign in front of it. When I try
to access the J: drive in DOS it say's there is no disk in drive, insert
disk and try again. In short: "My Computer does not show the J: nor the K:
(again, is the USB drive) H E L P Have I really messed up????? Any
help will be most appreciated.
Thank You

It's probably trying to use a drive letter that already being used. Try
reassigning the jump drive letter in Disk Management. Start|Run|diskmgmt.msc

OK, I did that and still won't show beyond i: drive in "MY Computer" but
"Disk Mngmnt" shows the J: drive.

Click to expand...

If TweakUI is installed, check the settings under My Computer> Drives.
Place checks next to all drive letters that you want to appear in Windows
Explorer or My Computer.

If not using TweakUI but you have a similar tweaking program installed,
check that program for similar settings.
