Ok, after 9 days of effing about, a call for help!
I have 10 external drives (Toshiba, WD, Tuoro, Samsung) all with films, music and training material. All were labelled - Tosh 1, Sammy 2, etc. All working fine for years. But then a week or so ago, all the names disappeared and just show drive letter! Except in Disk Management where the names are all there!
I've tried EVERYTHING! Formatting (full) and renaming via Explorer and Disk management. No change
Changing drive letters - No change
Renewing partition - No change
Checking ownership - No change
Antivirus sweeps (Panda and Malwarebytes) - Nothing.
The weird thing is, I have 3 laptops and they are all doing the same thing!!!! It's almost like all the HDDs have been "locked" for name change!
I am now desperate.
Any guru's out there with a solution?
Thanks
