Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management.
If you see your drive but there is no letter listed, right click the drive > Change Drive Letters or path assign/Change to the letter G and your drive should show up in My Computer and Windows Explorer.
If this doesn't work check Device Manager to see if the drive is listed
ok here we go: SEE PIC
no G drive......
If you see your drive ( Probably new Volume ) but there is no letter listed, right click the drive > Change Drive Letters or path assign/Change to the letter G and your drive should show up in My Computer and Windows Explorer.
The drive listed as new volume could be your backup drive ( if the size was the same )
Just assign a drive letter for it to show up in my computer, Explore drive if it is the drive that contains your back ups then you can rename it eg: backup.
solved the problem.......its a weird on though......
i had plugged in my webcam into a 4 slot USB card......the card has one iNTERNAL USB slot , thats where G drive was plugged into......
when i unplugged the webcam from the same card, , presto, drive G is now back again....
no idea....
