The drive letter will return once you create a partition and format that partition.
my western digital 80gb 8 mb cache 7200 ata-100 hard drive was partitioned for me. half was for use with windows 98 the other half for windows xp.
i used windows xp's disk management/storage command to unpartition the drive. now my pc does not show me an f drive. there wasn't any drivers disk or manual that came with the device when i purchased it. i suppose i have to find a way to repartition it or reformat it ???? appreciate anybody's help on this.
