After a new PC build in Windows 7 Ultimate, I installed (2) 1 Tb WD HD. I use one as my BU drive to my SSD and the other as my data Drive F. I named it as New Data F: and it does save to and works appropriately and I can save to it and is a healthy drive and named F drive under "Devices". So Windows does see it correctly - except: when I want to right click a document on my desktop to save to my F drive - I see no F drive as in it don't show up during right click from the mouse. Why is that? I could rename it a different drive letter but not sure I should do that. But if I did, what assurances will I have that the new driver letter will in fact show up in Right Click as F: surly doesn't ?

Right.
On Win7 and 8, Right click - "Send to" does not show other internal drives.
Mapped network locations, yes. Internal drives, no.
(I had to look to verify this was the case)

Copy/paste would seem to be the function of choice.

WOW! After all these years enjoying the send to > right click > choose F drive I am spoiled. Copy/Paste adds a few more button clicks for what I was used to I think.
