Many Home 2012 features don't work properly or cause issues :(

Thread needs solution

I installed the product yesterday after upgrading. First thing I tried was Acronis Startup Recovery Manager which just gave a failed message. I then tried to create a Secure Zone on an external USB HDD and it went through the process but did not create the zone. I tried using a boot DVD and once I had started the create a secure zone operation the system just hung. I tried using the help on the boot DVD but that was in French??? Finally I tried on another external HDD and that worked, creating a secure zone that 2012 can use. HOWEVER the drive letter for that HDD no longer appears in Windows 7. I have tried reconnecting and restarting the drive but nothing I attempt to do gets me the drive letter back. Only the secure partition appears in Windows?

Any ideas on getting the drive letter back would be appreciated.

What does windows Disk Manager show?

Hi

it shows all my other drives and the secure zone but not the drive letter that the secure zone resides on

Yo can reassign disk letters in windows with the Disk Manager( except for drive C:). If the letter you want to use is currently in use, you will need to reasign that disk a new letter first.
