do a cold boot then plug in your back-up drive. See if it recognise it Sent from my BlackBerry Bold on the Rogers Wireless Network -----Original Message----- From: Inge <pshebnicki@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 5 May 2010 11:50:53 To: pchelpers<pchelpers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [pchelpers] Drive not read by Window 7 I have an external hard drive and would like to use it for backups. However, it seems that I lost it somewhere along the line. It is not read by Windows 7. It shows in the Device Manager, but it does not show under Computer. There is no drive letter for it. It use to be Drive G. Now it is simply gone. How can I get Windows 7 to recognize that drive? Can someone tell me please?
