I went to do something with partition magic (it recognized something with the pointers I believe, so I allowed it to automatically fix the error) and now I'm not even able to access Partition Disk #0, Partition #1 which is a drive that I used to store data (No OS).  It doesn't appear in 'My Computer', but does appear in Disk Management but it doesn't seem like I can do anything with it besides delete the partition.  There's a lot of data that I have stored and I don't want to lose it all.

I used a partition tool to find out what sectors each of the partitions are starting at and for one of them it's sector 15 and the other it is sector 33.  I'm not sure if that has any significance to my problem, but just thought I'd let it be known.

I solved this problem by going into device manager and uninstalling the usb drivers. Then when I plugged the hard drive back in it reinstalled the driver and worked.

Hello trichard13,

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers Community.

Try using diskpart to assign a drive letter to Disk #0, Partition #1.

·          Click Start Orb > type diskpart

·          Right-click diskpart in results above > click Run as administrator

·          Once diskpart loads type list volume, press enter

You should notice that you will see your partition that you use for your data, it should not show a drive letter assigned to it.

·          Type select volume 6 **** (replace 6 with the volume number assigned to the partition in question)

·          Type assign letter Z (replace Z with the letter that you want to assign to it)

When you look in Computer, you should be able to see your partition.

Hope this helps

    I have the same problem.  The disk does not show up in Diskpart.  I get the same error from Computer Management - Disk Management.

    "The operation failed to complete because the Disk Management console view is not up-to-date.  Refresh the view by using the refresh task.  If the problem persits close the Disk Management console, then restart Disk Management or restart the computer."

    Please help Microsoft.  I'm starting to find the holes in Windows 7.

    I have the same problem with a firefly 16 gig thumb drive....Windows 7 ultimate,

    works on all other systems (3 other's 2x win7 one ultimate, one pro, 1 vista ultimate) but on this win7 ultimate system I get the same error as above when trying to assing a drive letter in disk management.

    I can see it in disk management without a drive letter assigned to it, but if I try to assign a drive letter to it, I get the above error.

    I have uninstalled the firefly under drives in device manager, cleaned the registry and rebooted. Done this multiple times, same problem.

    Diskpart does not show it listed, while disk management shows it as drive 9 again no drive letter assigned to it, drive 9 in diskpart is one of my mt media reader drives....

    any ideas?
