why cant I assign driver letter to a partition?

[itixmix]

One of my partitions (Downloads (F)) decided to disappear from my windows explorer after i had installed a hackintosh on the same hard drive but on a different partition.

Using Easeus I realised that the partition had lost its drive letter, so my files and folders are still in there but I cant access them as it doesnt appear on the windows explorer.

I tried to assign a letter to this partition but I got an error in EaseUS titled 'mounting volume failed'

Is there another way I could rename this partition back to F:

Many Thanks

Does the partition show up in Disk Management? If yes, what does it show about the partition?

No the partition doesnt show up in Disk Management

Perhaps the partition's entry in the partition table in sector 0 has been deleted.

Could we see the Partitions window in DMDE (freeware disc editor)?

Depending on what we find, there may be a single-click solution to the problem.

Can you mount the missing partition with Partition Find and Mount (freeware)?

i have sort of fixed the issuse, I ended up wiping the partition and reassigning a letter to it using 'Disk Management' but everytime I reboot, it requires me to assign a letter to it in order to see in the Explorer
