thecavern Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I just bought a new Desktop a month ago. I put in a CD to backup somefiles and nothing appeared to be happening. I clicked on "Computer" andfound that my "DVD CW" Drive ("E" Drive) was no longer listed. I called Support and they told me that there is a known problem withVista. Certain software downloads are incompatable and can cause the "E Drive" to be deallocated. I ran a Checkpoint Restore to get my"E Drive" restored. Does anyone know where one can find a current list of software thatcauses this problem ? Is there any mention of this problem in the Mircrosoft Support Site ?

Woomera Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I dont know about any program that cause something like this.though i heared of viruses that might do things like this.so i recommend you to first look for viruses on your machine.then check device manager and see if the hardware completely disapeared.if it wasnt in device manager you might wanna check the cables and if not take it to guarantee.

Sonic Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 It's known problem too on Windows XP, try this solution if problem occurs again.http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&...st&p=629525Be sure UAC is disable on your Vista (disable it in MSconfig / Utils / Disable UAC and REBOOT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
