Diskcheckup & DRIVE Z (Missing Drive) Fails to find drive

[rfeldhou]

I was trying to understand why my drive was there before but not after i added a new drive and moved the old drive to DRIVE Z.

After Moving the Drive FROM Z to M it found it where previously it did not. It seemed to just be missing. I found the DEBUG mode thing and found that the log shows that it checks up to DRIVE 25 NOT 26.

...
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 15:
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 16:
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 17:
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 18:
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 19:
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 20:
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 21:
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 22:
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 23:
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 24:
SmartDll: 00:11:07 03-Oct-2007 - Drive 25:
...

Hence never finding DRIVE Z.

To fix the bug/problem just move the drive letter to a NON Z DRIVE.

Thanks for the details. We'll look into it to confirm & fix the problem.

We've had a look into this and there doesn't seem to be a problem with detecting z: drives. There must have been a different reason that your drive was not being detected.

As for only going up to 25. This is because the index of the drives starts at 0 as opposed to 1.

eg.
a: = 0 (not 1)
b: = 1
.....
y: = 24
z: = 25
