Drive Letter disappears when re-booted

by rotocron . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

I have an NT 4.0 workstation machine w/ SP5. The machine has 3, 9g disks, all Ultra SCSI 2 Cheetah LVD’s. All partitions are NTFS. The first disk has two partitions, number one is a 4g boot and system partition, the second 5g is just a data partition. The second and third physical disks are just one big 9g partition (RAID0). The first disk is running on the controller built into the MB. The second and third disks are running on a AAA-131U2 controller (RAID), and is striped and partitionedfor the entire 18g. I have Adaptec’s CI/O software (Build 10) installed and working fine, and the OS see’s the ‘disk’. The problem is that NT will not keep the drive letter. After partitioning and formatting with NT’s Disk Administrator, every time I reboot the machine, the drive letter dis-appears. All I have to do is “Assign Drive Letter” again, and the data is still there and I’m off and running like nothing happened. What’s going on?
