Hi Everyone,

just done a clean install of windows. Backed up all my files on my 160gb usb HDD. Now the usb HDD is coming up as drive c: and says i must format the drive before i do anything. What has happened and how do i solve it?
I simply can't format the drive as it has extremely important files on it.

Please help as i don't know how to make it a removable device again. Have tried updating drivers and that does not help.

Thanks in advance
 
ok it's saying my removable drive is drive c:, yet my system is installed on drive e: (my internal) so that would make it the correct drive?!
 
Just done a clean install and the same thing happens. Main drive is now c: and usb drive that was reading as storage device is now a named drive as f: and still asking me to format it. Very worried now as it has files i can't lose on it.

PLease can anyone shed light...
 
Could it be to do with master and slave settings? I know sata is set to be primary drive but it says in boot that second slave is IDE?

any idea how to change the usb drive to storage device rahther than generic?
