Lastdrive: Cool command but it doesn't do it. Windows seems to know that I have an E: drive, but won't admit it. It makes my first two drives C: and D:, and makes my CDROM F:. Also, in System/Performance/Virtual Memory, my swap file is still assigned to E: and attributes the right number of MB to the drive. And the drive is recognized same as ever by fdisk. It's just the letter is missing in My Computer and in the "save as" lists, etc. Maybe Richard knows where this is in the registry. Otherwise I'll either live with it (won't know the difference) or maybe try Partition Magic on it. w

Here's another piece to the puzzle: If I hook my second HDD up to the system and boot from it, I can see ALL my drives in main disk, including the missing one. Why does my second OS (win98) see the missing drive, but my first OS (win95 -- the one on the same disk as the missing drive) doesn't? Must have got erased from the registry or some other .ini type file is all I can figure. Probably re-installing the OS would fix it, but I'm curious if there is a more surgical way. w
