Hi guys,

I had non-system HDD which was F:. After reinstaling the system I want to assign the "F" letter to this drive, but in diskmgmt.msc it offers me all the other letters except that F:, which i used before reinstaling. The HDD works, data are OK, there are no other F: in the system, but WIN does not allow me to assign F to any drive.

Why is this letter banned?

Thank you in advance!

I just solved this - no need to reply. My fault...
;)
