Product: Eleitebook G4
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I would like to use the drive letter D to store my binary files.  However, each time that I create this drive with DiskManager or Mini partition manager, the drive is inaccessible after formating (FAT, FAT32, NTFS, etc.).

 

Further, any other drive that was successfully created (I.E. F, G, H, etc.), if I change the drive letter to D, then that drive becomes inaccessible.

 

I believe that this is due to the default recovery drive setup.  However, I am not interested in having any recovery drive on the system as i already have a USB recovery drive.

 

What changes do I need to make to be able to use the drive letter D?

 

With thanks,

Hi,
I have removed the drive letter from the drive, but I have not yet deleted the contents. Is this necessary?

With thanks,

Hi,

 

Have you TOTALLY removed/deleted 😧 in Disk Management and/or reformat it ?

 

Regards.
