    Win7 x64 doesn't mount external hd anymore, have to do it manually


    Hello,

    Windows doesn't mount any external drives anymore, i have to use the disk mangement tool to add a letter to the drive manually each time.

    I run MacDrive (latest), if it may help.

    Windows 7 Ultimate x64 sp1

    Thanks for your help,
