I recently reinstalled Windows on my PC, my Lacie drive was working fine as Drive "F" I have 2 External Drives which have both always worked fine together, but when I reinstalled Windows I plugged my other Hard Drive back in first and it took over the letter "F" Drive and the Lacie drive wasn't showing up. Having that being said I reassigned the other drive to "H" freeing up "F" for my Lacie drive, but now when I plug in the lacie all that happens is the computer says found new hardware and recognizes it completely, but I have no access to it. It's not listed in My Computer but it is shown in device management and I can safely remove it but I would really like to be able to use it again. This is my first post and any help will be greatly appreciated.
