  1. Problem with drive letters installing windows


    So I have an ssd that had a previous windows install and I created a windows installation usb stick windows 1903

    Upon installation I deleted all partitions until I was left with unallocated and chose install. I got an error that windows couldnt proceed, so I googled the error and apparently the usb stick is assigned to C: and my ssd is assigned to X:
    and in order for windows to install, the ssd has to be assigned to C:

    Not sure where to go from here. Photos attached

    :)

    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.
