Personal IT Experiences

Experienced this problem with HP DL360 servers w/ 2-72GB disks, RAID 1.

After restoring a Windows 2003 DISK image (GHOST image) to the server, able to boot and work with drive C:. Unable to see and access drives E: and F: also thought to have been restored in the DISK image.

Solved by using DiskPart this way:

• At a command prompt, type Diskpart <enter>
• Type List Volumes <enter>
• Missing volumes are seen, but they don’t show labels or drive letter assignment
• Type Select Volume 2 <enter>
• Type Assign <enter>
• You’ll see an affirmative message.
• Type List Volumes <enter>
• Does the drive letter appear along with a volume label? Good.
• Type Select Volume 3 <enter>
• Type Assign <enter>
• You’ll see an affirmative message.
• Type List Volumes <enter>
• All drive letters appear with their volume labels?
• Type exit <enter> and close the command prompt.
• Reboot the server to verify drive letters appear normally.
