Hi Guys....been a long time...busy busy.
Bought a new computer for a group member....Win7 Professional, 64bit, and was setting it up when I decided to partition the HD (1TB) using Windows own 'Disk Management' (DM) tool....just divided in two, worked fine, assigned me a new drive letter, all cool.
On reboot drive letter in Win Explorer had disappeared and was not accessible, looked in DM, partition was still visible but not active, tried to activate, no go, removed the partition, repartitioned and did a full format of the new partition, at next reboot same thing. Ended up going back to one single large partition and cut my losses......time.
Have tried Googling and other searches but to no avail.....my question....why? has anybody had this happen or have some experience/information as to why?
Would love to hear anything.
Cheers...John M
