C: drive is drive 1; How this disk 0?
I just found out that when my computer was built, the C: (System) drive has been configured as disk 1, not disk 0. My secondary drive (data) has been assigned the disk 0. It is the source of the problems. Is there a way to reverse these without blowing the entire system?
TRACK: (FYI; I have Win 7 32 bit). After my last message (with the disconnected data reader and appearing as disk 0 C: drive) I stop and reconnected the data reader and checked the disk management to see what were the drive assignments. The c: drive remained as disk 0; so I guess it was an easier than expected solution.
Conclusions from this:
1. the assignment of disc # is probably a false problem. If it works, it works.
2. There is a bug with Norton 360 in works of his optimization of disk utility. I'll follow up with them.
3. There is no other corrections I can do locally.
Thanks to all who gave him a shot.

one of my local disk drive shows the space used a few GB of data even if nothing is physically stored in this disk
When you go to start / computer and select which lead and then choose explore does nothing there or are there any files or folders. Make sure you first start / Control Panel / folder Options / view and check the button to view the hidden files, check the box to show system files and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types files. Explorer shows that it uses space (exactly how much)? What was on this front disc has been added to your computer as an additional drive?
Go to start / Control Panel / Admninistrative tools / computer management / disk management and tell me what he says on this drive. Does also show the disk space used or is it clean? Hover your mouse over the the disk image and a text box appears. Post the EXACT content, as they are presented.
If you want to clean up (and there is nothing on it to save) then right click on the drive and click Format. This will wipe the drive and I hope, will solve this problem. If this is not the case, the reader may have a hidden partition that occupies space. We can deal with that by deleting the partition and then format again.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver?
My hard drives of computers were completely destroyed by overhead sprinklers during a fire. Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver? I can't go online until I have install windows. Thank you
Hello
So it does not start from the disc, but when you get to the part where it asks me to choose a disk to install Windows, you do not see something here, is that correct? Go to the menu of the Bios (tap button "F2" at startup to access the Bios), then Advanced and check what you show for the SATA/operating Mode option.

Suddenly, I can longer open my pictures folder. I tried to move a picture to the folder to see what is happening and received an error message saying I was not allowed to display the contents of the folder and if I move the picture here, I won't be able to see. I ran disk utility and found no permissions error.
How this could have happened and how can I fix this problem? I'm the only user. No one else has ever physical access to my computer. However, I sign up for Skyhub a few weeks ago and copied the contents of my Macbook it. Since then, a "Remote disk" icon on my hard drive. This would be part of the problem?
Select it, choose get the information on the file menu, open the section sharing and permissions and give you access.
