In disk Management the hdd has no letter, only the name I set to it.
And when I right-click it a menu appears with only "cancel
partition" and "online help" (Italian xp, to make it clear to you).
I got activated the Recovery Console and someone advised me to set
FIXMBR but I was scared about formating my hdd and losing 150 gigs of
hard-earned stuff.
What would you do in a similar case? Thanx
