New SSD Drive (Win 7) Path is missing?

[luzhun]

Hi all. I installed the new SSD drive and went to disk management to initialize formatting an NTFS partition on it. It worked and is showing the drive letter on disk management but there seems to not be a path to it when I open up My Computer to start creating folders on it.

How can I get it to show up with the other drives? Thank you.

Have you rebooted the system?

And you need to remove that D drive letter from that SYstem partition. It seres no purpose.

Hi again. Sorry for the blurry screenshot. I'll see if this one shows up better.

Yes. I have restarted the computer and it shows in the BIOS too.

The Z drive is the one in question here?

Give it a different letter. See what happens.

That is all that it was. It didn't like Z. I just made it A. Lol.

Yay! Thanks for your help!

Well, A is not great either.
A and B drive letter is reserved from a couple of decades ago, for floppy drives. Hence why the OS drive defaults to C, unless you really try to force it to be something else.
