I cannot find out why the partition drive letters are not showing up in disk management but are showing in "My Computer". I can view directories and file in explorer but links and commands do not work because they can't find the paths.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to Disk Management, my hard drives are not listed. They are visable in My Computer. Nothing is listed except my DVD drive.The reason I was in Disk Management in the first place, I plugged in my backup external drive (500GB Seagate FreeAgent Desktop) and it did not show up in My Computer, so I thought it was a drive letter assignment issue. So I go to Disk Managment and none of my hard drives are listed!
View 6 Replies View RelatedJust recently my computer started doing the annoying thing where you try to type, but it freezes for a couple of seconds and then all the typing you did finally shows up. It does it when I try to scroll down a page, too; everything freezes for a few seconds before my cursor is responsive again. I have a fairly high-powered computer, and no extraneous programs are running. When I keep Task Manager running, I can see spikey activity in the CPU when these freeze-ups occur. I keep things well-defragged and spyware-free.
View 14 Replies View RelatedAt work we have so many network drives and in a recent upgrade to xp, the drive letters are showing up at the very end of the drive description. In certain applications, you only get to see a short portion of the beginning of the drive info and with the complex naming schemes we have, it is difficult to remember what's what and hard to tell the difference with just the beginning showing. It's very easy to remember what we've designated as K or N or P for example. Any way to switch these letters back to the beginning?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI was attempting to back up my hard drive to an external hard drive. The program (Norton Ghost 14) wasn't recognizing the drive. The Norton tech. helped me determine this was because under Disk Management there were no drive letters next to the drives. It showed a small partition on my primary drive, my primary drive, and my usb connected external hard drive, but none had drive letters next to them. I attempted to change their drive letters. It did something, but the letters still didn't show next to the drives. After this, everything disappeared on my desktop. I then rebooted and couldn't get to the login screen.Right now, when I start my computer I get the Dell bios revision screen, then the black MS Windows XP screen, and then the blue XP screen. Everything looks normal except that it stops short of the login area. My guess is that by changing the primary drive letter that my computer now cannot find anything because it appears the C drive is missing.
