Hello,
Normally no reboot is required after you have assigned a drive letter.
Possibly the partition is damaged (for example the boot sector), and
possibly - if it is damaged - it can be repaired. The partinfo tool on our
support page can reveal partition table and boot sector damage, you're
welcome to post a report in our support forum. Alternatively a program like
our iRecover can be used to copy data from damaged volumes to another drive.

> i only see drive letter in one partition, i.e at the boot partiton C. The
partition i am only able to see via disk management in the computer
management console. Although I am able to see the partition there but
cannot get at the data, as there is no drive letter assigned. I have even
tried to assign a drive letter via the dsik mgt ui but no luck...the error I
get here is that it ask me to restart the system, but still no luck. I
beleive the data is still intact in this part of the partiton. By the way
this partiton is NTFS. Hope this helps.
