    Windows 10 - disk management - attach VHD doesn't assign drive letter


    After doing a system image backup to another drive, I tried using disk manager to attach the .vhdx image file with read only checked, and it appears to attach the image, but no drive letter is assigned. What am I missing here?

    :)

    help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

    Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.

    help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

    maybe your USB drive is trying to assign a drive letter that is already taken.

    goto

    start > control panel > administrative tools > computer manager > disk manager

    find your USB drive and assign is a drive letter

    Windows 10 - disk management - attach VHD doesn't assign drive letter

    Attaching a VHD

    I am running Windows 10, the latest build and created a Windows Image Backup image with Backup and Restore (Windows 7) from the control panel.

    To see if it works, I opened Disk Management and clicked on Action - Attach VHD and clicked on the VHD file, which is located on an external USB drive, but after that, no VHD was created, tried doing a Refresh and Rescan Disks and still no VHD drive.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks
