Hello all
I have a Maxtor 40gig HD that is slaved to my main drive specifically for capturing video footage from my camcorder. There was a shortcut on my desktop to it, but now the shortcut is useless.
The drive seems to have disappeared!
In device manager, the drive is listed as present and working correctly, but in My Computer and even Disk management, the drive is no longer there. I checked my bios page and it is listed ok in there also.
I've tried uninstalling the drive then reinstalling it but the end result is the same
I realise that somehow the drive has lost its identity, but I just can't seem to access it to give it an id back.
My machine is a P4 3.4 running windows XP Home
One other thing that might be relevant is that I use Daemon Tools a lot. Could that software be causing my prob?
Any help would be greatly received as I need to finish a family dvd.
Thanks
Paul
