Change it back to where you want it. Windows probably defaulted to the first drive when it lost the drive you had it on.

I have. I just renamed all the drives and put them back in the original order. It only takes a few minutes There were warnings that changing the drive letters might make something inaccessible, but I ignored them and everything worked fine when I was finished.

WOW. did you travel to the future to get a drive with that capacity?

I would backup what ever you can and do some scans with the manufacturers software. if that passes, reformat and partition it.

This could be a glitch, but its good to play it safe and back it up and do some scans....

mm i did a full chkdisk on it but it still appears as shown
it's fully usable though.. SMART data is intact too apparently.
wait no.. it's missing alot of data.. but the drive is still working as per normal.
It fails WD diagnostics at the first test.
Maybe something on the board responsible for keeping tabs on the drive fried? :heink:

if it fails the test, its time to rma it...get what ever files you can get off of it and send it in for replacement.

chkdsk is mostly for a file system check. there is a switch to make it do a bad sector scan, but if it fails WDC's test. its toast.
