No drive assigned to external hard drive

I have a Seagate 160GB external hard drive and have been using it to store
all my files on using my Windows XP system installed on my E-Machine. Now
suddenly my computer continues to tell me that the drive is working properly
and that the driver installed is the most recent driver. However, my
computer does not assign it a drive location for me to access my files. What
is the problem? It is definitely in the XP software. I was able to access
my hard drive before with this computer now I cannot. Please Help Me.

Hello: I'm running python under cygwin and need to find the drive letter. Cygwin has a way of calling my drives by a name relative to the Cygwin directory, so I get things like /home/user rather than /cygdrive/g/cygwin/home/usr, etc. How can I find the letter of the drive, or in the above example, the letter 'g'? My program needs to run on an external media that comes with Cygwin on it. I have no control over what drive is assigned to...

Hi, I'm looking for some code to monitor for when an external drive is connected to a computer (USB ThumbDrive, External Hard Drive, etc.) and is assigned a drive letter. I'd want my code to trigger off of the mounting process so I can search for a specific file on that hard drive (which is always guaranteed to be in a specific spot).

How can I use WMI or a WqlObjectQuery to find the hard drive letter of the physical drive location index. For example the following code will give me the physical drive location: StringCollection propNames = new StringCollection(); ManagementClass driveClass = new ManagementClass("Win32_DiskDrive"); PropertyDataCollection props = driveClass.Properties; foreach (PropertyData driveProperty in props) { propNames.Add(driveProperty.Name);

Hi, I recently got an external hard drive to backup all my files. The easiest way it seems to synchronise between my desktop computer and the backup files on the external hard drive is to use Microsoft briefcase, but this then makes a replica of the database - which is not what I want. All I want is a copy of the most recent version of the database as I develop it, but to do the sychronisation manually seems a bit time consuming as I have...

Hi all! I use a internal hard drive as my external hard drive by using a IDE to USB wire. One day, I plug in the electric, but it won't work! I plug the electric into a different hard drive, it works. My hard drive doesn't work! What do I do from here? Should I do it myself? (post links to helpful info)

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
