Drive Letter of single hardrive changed
My question is what would cause the drive letter to be changed? At the apparent "ground zero" of the issue, I see some peculiar events logged in the System event log. First, there are the standard 6009 and 6005 information events from EventLog indicative of a boot up. Then the weird ones start. I first see an error from Distributed Link Tracking with EventID 12507, description as follows:
The volume ID for C: has been reset, since it was a duplicate of that on E:. This volume ID is used by Distributed Link Tracking to automatically repair file links, such as Shell Shortcuts and OLE links, when for some reason those links become broken.
Then I see information event 12506 also from Distributed Link Tracking:
Ownership of the volume ID for E: has been successfully claimed. This volume ID is used by Distributed Link Tracking to automatically repair file links, such as Shell Shortcuts and OLE links, when for some reason those links become broken.
