    one internal hard drive doesn't show up on restart


    soooo I have 4 x 500gb internal hard drives, and everytime I reboot my computer one specific drive doesn't show up. I have to go into disk management and add a drive path/letter every single time.

    windows 7 ultimate x64
    Xeon quad-core 2.63
    5gb ram

    any other info you need let me know, any help is appreciated!

    This is the best info I could find on your problem, on the Microsoft site: Repeated loss of drive letter assignment upon reboot
