w3k Drive letter problem

[brettums]

I installed a new Fileserver Monday..... I had to rearrange drive letter mappings via openmanage (diskmanager) Anyway..... I came back to the machine today... I noticed that my DATA drive (when looking at MY COMPUTER VIEW) there are 2 data drives...

ex.


C: SYSTEM (DRIVE)
D: DATA
E: DATA

D and E are exactly the same... you add a file to Drive E and it's already in D..... what the hell does this mean? I've NEVER seen this before. FYI, I go into Diskmanager and there is only C and E drives listed.... friggan weird! Ever see this... Been doing google searches for the past couple of days and can't seem to find any fixes....

You probably want subst e: /d

This message does nothing in reference to my issue.

is all the storage local

there is no shared storage

actually, he'd probably want subst d: /d, since Disk Manager says the C: and E: drives exist. He'd want to delete the d:

brettums - try that command and see if it fixes the problem.

in all honesty... I'm afraid to do that entry...

I wanna do it, but I just hope nothing will go wrong, know what I mean?
