Thanks for this! I was so excited to install Windows 7 but once it was installed I was sad to see only 4 of my 5 HDs.

Do you know what causes this?

I thought it was strange I could see my xp Drive.
After following your steps I guess for some reason With Windows 7 being on C drive and windows xp my real c drive it couldn’t find it.
Fixed worked, No my XP drive is B drive.

When I right click on the Partition it just brings up HELP and takes me to Microsoft help regarding disk management.
Using diskpart and setting id=0b the partition becomes visible in disk.
management, but restarting the computer causes the D disk to vanish again.
I have tried changing the letter but nothing works.
Any help much appreciated.

Thanks man, I was pulling my hair out. I saw this action to change the drive letter but I wasn’t sure if I should touch it.

Glad it worked!

Thanks
