External HD + Easuse = Startup hang

[Newb4Life]

Well.. Basically my external Seagate 9ZA2AG-501 decided to changed drive letters today (from F to H)

So... I loaded Partition star and it did not recognize the drive at all. Easus on the other hand did.

I set it to change the drive letter back to F and when it reboots it says it was successful but then hangs there.

any ideas?

Hi,

What hangs where?

Hi,

What hangs where?

You're an adult... you should know these things....



I am, however, wondering why the OP cares what drive letter his external drive is on...

 

[DarkStar GT]

-- some software apps reference a data folder store the path name (including drive letter) in the Registry; if the letter changes the app complains,
---- or, perhaps he's got another disk named H:

PS What does the drive look like in KUbuntu? Perhaps the letters are fixable there?

Eh...

Apparently I am a bit impatient: I let it sit there while I left the room to do something and when I came back about 30 minutes later it had booted up.

Thanks for the help though!
