hi,
This problem may occur if AutoMount is not turned on on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition. When AutoMount is turned on, and a new hard disk is detected, AutoMount automatically tries to assign a drive letter and mount the disk.

hi,
try this when you use the New Partition Wizard to format a partition on a new hard disk, mount the disk and assign the disk a drive letter.
