| I got a new pc with preinstalled xp prof. sp2. as usual there was only one big partition on the hdd. as i wanted to divide the partition, i installed partition magic 8.01. before running it, i copied some files over the network and therefore i mapped a shared folder to drive letter z. then i seemed to make a mistake. i forgot to disconnect the network drive and ran partition magic. after the work was done, the system restarted. when i logged in, it claimed to have found some new drives and the system should be rebooted in order to use them. obedient as i am [emote|:$], i rebooted it again. when i logged in, an icon appeared in the systray claiming that it could not reconnect to the network drive, i mapped before as drive z. i started the explorer and clicked on the drive and truly there was no connection. no problem i thought, let's disconnect and reconnect again. but to my surprise i got an error when i tried to disconnect, stating that it just is not possible!?!? i rebootet again and since then from time to time an un@ssigned local drive appears in the explorer (unformatted) - but not in the drivemanager!!! - and what bothers me most at the moment, drive letter z is blocked (even if the 'ghost-drive' does not show). i allready installed tweakui. there the drive letter is shown as 'in use'. unchecking, rebooting, checking... again did not help. i could not find the slightest hint, where xp saves drive @ssignments and ran out of ideas. has anyone any idea what to do (except reinstalling xp [emote|:-P])? thanks in advance. |
