Dev Drive must be re-attached after computer restart

Question

I have a Dev Drive (E drive), and every time I restart the system, I need to manually mount it again. Why is this?

Hello, 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

This issue may be due to the drive not being set up to automatically mount when the system boots. Here are a few steps you can follow to fix this issue:

1. Turn on Disk Management: You can do this by pressing the Windows key + X and selecting Disk Management from the list.
2. Locate your E drive in the list of volumes.
3. Right-click on the E drive and select Change Drive Letter and Path.
4. Click Add, and then click Assign the following drive letters.
5. Make sure the drive letter is E and click OK.
6. Reboot the system to see if the drive is automatically mounted.

If the problem persists, it could be due to other issues such as a drive error. In this case, you may want to consider running a disk check. You can do this by opening a command prompt as an administrator, typing "chkdsk E: /f" and pressing Enter. Replace the "E" with the drive's number. The '/f' parameter tells CHKDSK to fix any errors it finds.

Remember to back up any important data before running a disk check as it may lead to data loss.

If you are still experiencing the problem, please provide more details about your system and related drives so that we can better assist you.

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best Regards,
