Troubleshooting
Problem
Drive and adapter show properly in Device Manager, but no drive letter is available in My
Computer or Windows Explorer.
Solution
This is a normal occurrence with a new drive, or with a drive that contains an existing partition
that Windows does not understand.
Using a new drive with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7
You can partition and format the drive via USB using the Logical Disk Manager utility. Click
Start, then Run. (Vista/Windows 7 users click Start and use the search box). Type diskmgmt.msc
, and click Ok. This will start the utility. The USB drive should be visible in the bottom pane. Use
Windows help for assistance with using Logical Disk Manager. Once you have partitioned and
formatted the drive, Windows will assign it a drive letter and it is ready to use.
Using a drive with existing data that Windows does not recognize
If Windows does not assign a drive letter for a drive with data on it, it is because Windows
does not recognize the partition on the drive. This is common if the drive came from another
operation system, if the drive is encrypted NTFS, if it was partitioned with a third party utility,
or if some or all of the data on the drive is corrupted. Unfortunately, there is not a practical
workaround. The drive may work if it is erased and reformatted, but the data may not be
recoverable.
Macintosh OS X
When you install a new drive using OSX, the Application “Disk Utility” is what you use to Partition,
Format, RAID, Test, or Erase the drive. Disk Utility is located in the Applications/Utility folder.
