I have a 500 gig external USB drive that filled up. I connected an
external 1.5 Tb drive yesterday to copy the contents, and left the copy
procedure to work overnight.
This morning the computer had blue screened. Now when I plug the drives
in, they're identified when I double click on "Safely Remove Hardware",
but no drives are assigned in Explorer. In Disk Management the drive is
listed and the partitions healthy, but right clicking only offers
"Delete Partition".
I've Googled, "external hard drive not assigned a drive letter" and "usb
drive does not show in explorer". One suggestion to use,
"DeleteLowerAndUpperFiltersForUSBOrExternalHardDiskDrive.msi" was a
disaster, as I create backups of the 3 hard drives partitions and on a
reboot, every partition was assigned a drive letter, even though most of
them are hidden, and there wasn't a way to remove the drive letter from
them.
I tried a ERDNT registry restore from yesterday and nothing changed.
Anything else I can do?
