Subject: Losing my drive letters assigned with Disk Admin
Comment:

I'm assigning a drive letter (E:) through Disk Administrator, if I have to
reboot the server that I lose the drive assignment to the array. The drive
letter is assigned an external SCSI tower. This is connected to the server
with a DPT card, setup with RAID 5 and a hotspare. NT Disk Admin sees this
unit as one disk with 34GB of storage. I then assign the disk a letter of
E: and close Disk Admin. As long as the server is running I have the drive
E:, but if I shut the server down and reboot the drive letter is then lost.
Disk Admin still sees the disk as 34GB and the label still exists but there
is no drive letter E:, I have to reassign the drive letter. I don't want to
have to reassign the letter every time.

Thanks

Kevin Nelson

Keyword here is EXTERNAL. Raid / NT has a problem reassigning such ID's.
