Tried to install GoBack and error occured then system tried to restore but could not repair MBR and BPE. When I reboot The second drive does not show as connected and when I use disk management (XP Professional) it appears without a drive letter and I can't assign one (grayed out). I have installed and run "Recovery Console" still no joy. The drive shows as D: but when I reboot it is not present. I have booted from a bott floppy (Win98 and it does not show). I have verified it is FAT32 and it contains a majority of my Software installations. I need to get this data back, PLEASE any help for this one??
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
This sounds like it can be many things. This drive used to work in this config before? If you have a primary and secondary ide controller, try the drive as a master on the secondary and vice versa. Also, run fdisk with your Win98 boot disk and verify that this drive is not set as a Non dos partition.
There is also a virus out there that I have encountered that may give this problem. Not too sure of the name but I will post back if I find it.
I lost my Event Viewer, and had to do a repair installation to fix it. Unfortunately, during the repair install, Windows decided to rename my second HD as the D: drive... it was K: before that. Now I cannot access any of my docs, pictures, music, or videos through the normal means... they don't show up in libraries or explorer, and apps like Restorator and Sure Thing (CD labeler) cannot find them. I think that means the paths are broken..?
It won't allow me to rename the HD back into K: (it's not listed as available). I can access the data by clicking Computer > D, and I can see the data is there, but its unusable as of now. Any ideas?
Hello Stevie,
To be safe, you should create a restore point before doing this in case you make a mistake and need to use it to do a system restore.
1. If the K letter is not being used by another internal drive, then you can open regedit and navigate to:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices
2. In the left pane, Take ownership (step 2 in Option Two of METHOD TWO) of the registry key MountedDevices and "Allow" yourself "Full Control" of it as well.
3. In the right pane of MountedDevices, right click on \DosDevices\K: and click on Delete and OK.
4. Restart the computer to apply. You should now be able to change the second hard drive letter to K.
Hope this helps,
I have a USB external hard drive that I keep all my documents etc on (had it for years)
I upgraded from Vista Home to & Home Premium then had to upgrade recently to Professional to run my Sage. Through all these upgrades my ext. drive ran fine. Occasionally the drvie letter would change if I had something else plugged into the USB, this was always easily corected in disk management by changing the drive path.
The connection on the case packed up so I had to get the drive put into a new case, now when I plug it in the drive is assigned G instead of F, I tried to change the drive letter allocation in Disk Management but it won't let me as the program still thinks I have a second ext. hard drive which is labelled F. I suspect this has happened because when the usb connection broke the drive was disconnected suddenly instead of a proper eject.
How do I get Disk Management to remove the inactive drive - i can't find any obvious way - eject, delete etc are all missing when I click on tools or tasks.
If there is no easy way then how do I stop program updates for Adobe etc. failing because they can not find the F drive. I don't know why they look at that drive anyway.
Hi PAMDILL,
Welcome aboard.
Try this:
Download drivecleanup.zip V 0.8.1 from
Drive Tools for Windows
Unzip to a folder. In it you will have two folders Win32 and x64, each containing DriveCleanup.exe for Windows 32bit and 64 bit respectively.
Now unplug all the USB devices from your PC (except of course the Keyboard and mouse), right click on the appropriate DriveCleanup.exe for your system and run it as an administrator.
This will remove all non-present drives from the registry.
Reboot and then plug-in your external drive.
The drive will be installed and hopefully you should be able to assign any free drive letter to it.
Please report whether it resolved your problem.
i can't get my puter to read the data on an external hard drive. wants me to format it even though it recognizes the drive letter i gave it when i did format it. don't want to lose the 100+ gigs of data i have on this drive.
Does the external drive work on another machine?
Also, while the drive is still connected, can you go into Device Manager (right-click My Computer, click on 'Manage...', click on 'Device Manager') to check for any yellow exclamation marks or red crosses next to anything in there?
I'm booting off my SSD which is drive C:\ and I have games and programs on an extra hard drive which was origanally drive H:\ but after a restart it switched to I:\ and when I go into Disk Management to change it Drive H:\ isn't there.
Hi KiityCancer,
What you say makes perfect sense. So, if a restart changed the drive letter to I, then H won't be there. Why not just leave it at I or is there more to this story...
My External Hard Drive (My Book) was always Drive letter F.
I went to sleep and woke up to find Windows 7 Pro had updated and rebooted and I was welcomed by my login screen.
Consequently now my My Book external HDD now reads as Drive letter G.
I went into Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management
Drive letter F is not available.
F is assigned to a drive that does not exist and never has. I am confused. I only have one CD drive and it says now that I have 2 even though the one addressed as F doesn't have any information. If I click on F it says "Insert Disk"
Update: The mysterious other CD Rom drive seems to be MagicJack.
I did some research but the following tech help did NOT work as you can see by the previous post picture that it doesn't not show it up in Disk Management:

What size is the hard drive?
Do you know what motherboard you have?
STEP 1: CHECK POWER (click for expanded instructions further down the page)
Verify that the drive light and the light on the AC adapter (power supply) is illuminated normally.
It is sometimes necessary to contact Technical Support for troubleshooting and/or possibly to replace the power supply if it behaves unusually.
STEP 2: CHECK CABLING (click for expanded instructions further down the page)
Confirm that your USB/Firewire cable is firmly connected in a port that is on the rear of your desktop computer (if you have a desktop).
Try another USB or Firewire port.
If your drive is powered only by USB, such as the FreeAgent Go, the Maxtor OneTouch mini, and the Seagate Portable drive, then the drive's cable has two USB connectors. Try connecting both of the free USB connectors into a USB port for maximum power availability.
Avoid connecting the drive via a USB hub for now.
Follow these instructions to ensure that your installation of Windows XP/2000 has been updated to the latest Windows Service Pack.
Right-click on My Computer and choose Properties.
The System Properties window will appear. On the General tab (which will be at the front), see the "System:" information.
For Windows 2000: Update to Service Pack 4.
For Windows XP: Update to Service Pack 2.

I have an old BYTECC hard drive enclosure. Trying to use it on an older XP system for back up. Got a bunch of 40G hard drives I can use.
The OS will detect the external drive is connected and powered up, arrow shows in the tray for a USB drive, checked the device manager and it sezs the drive is there and operating properly, recognizes it, but does not assign a drive letter.
AIDA32 sezs it is there but same deal shows no drive letter.
I've tried four different hard drives with the same results. I know the hardware works on other computers, this particular computer USB works with other canned external drives, it reads a flash memory stick as a drive no problem. I know the BYTECC is set up properly, should be the same as with other computers. Works ok on a Win2000 system.
What could be the problem? Is there something to tweak?
I do know this XP system would not read hard drives that had been formatted on non-XP computers before. Don't exactly know what systems all these drives were formatted on. Isn't making any sense to me at the moment. Doing it just like I did on the Win2000 system with other drives, everything worked as it should.
Thinking I could try to slap one of the drives in as a slave and try to format it that way, hopefully can get it to be read as a USB drive instead.
Any help greatly appreciated.
If the drive shows up in Disk Management (Start/Run/diskmgmt.msc/OK), right-click the drive icon or the area showing the drive below, select "Change drive letter and paths". In the next window click "Add". Next window click the radio button for "Assign the following drive letter". Select a drive letter. Click OK.
I have just bought and installed (to the point of completing initialization under Disk Management) a new 1 TB hard drive. Originally, I was planning to use it solely for data storage.
However, I am thinking of installing Windows XP Pro and all the programs I currently use on it, thereby making it the new OS and programs drive, while using the original 120 GB HD as a data/backup drive.
I think the main appeal of doing this, for me, is that it also presents an opportunity to reinstall Windows on a machine which hasn't had this done for more than three years, and which currently seems to take at least five minutes to boot to a "usable" state, despite having a reasonably high spec for its age (it was bought in 2001, but as a result of the upgrade I did in 2006 which led to the last Windows install, it has a 2.4 GHz AMD chip, an Asus A8N-E motherboard, 3 GB of DDR2 RAM, 7600-series PCI-E graphics card).
This has put me in a quandary with regard to whether I should use the new HD as the OS drive, and if I do whether I should partition it and, if I do that, which drive letter(s) I should assign to it.
I don't appear to be able to choose 'C' as the new drive letter under the New Volume Wizard (I can't even choose 'F' since I have an 250 GB external USB backup drive currently assigned as the F: drive). If I choose 'G' (the earliest letter of the alphabet currently available), must it remain hereafter the G: drive, even if I do... Read more

I have Vista Home Premium with two 320 GB internal hard drives © & (E). I am trying to put Vista on drive E and upgrade to Windows 7 on drive C.
I had successfully cloned the drive C of Vista onto an external hard drive and copied it to drive E (the second internal hard drive). When I copied the cloned copy of Vista to drive E, the system changed the drive letter to L. Everything was working fine and I could boot into either C or L.
In a fit of neatness I guess, I decided that I would like to have the newly labeled drive L designated as drive E again and changed it to drive E in "Disk Management" while I was booted into drive C.
Now I am unable to boot into the second internal drive. I just get a blank screen. I can get "Task Manager" but nothing else, not even the "Start" icon.
I booted back into C and changed the drive back to L, but that didn't work either.
I tried to boot the second internal drive in Safe Mode, but just got a blank screen, without the start icon.
I tried restoring to a previous date, but that wouldn't work and it only restores C anyway.
When I'm booted in drive C, it shows the second internal drive L and shows all the files and programs that should be on drive L.
How do I get the drive restored so I can boot into it?
Thanks to anyone that can help.
I don't know if this helps, but is drive L still marked as an "active" partition in disk management? When you right click the partition the option should be there to do so if it is not marked as such.Read other 1 answers

My question is: I have XP Pro on my machine that once recognized the external firewire hard drive attached to it (showed up as drive letter in "My

another firewire device, but I can not get the pc to show a drive letter for
the ext. drive anymore. The ext. drive shows up fine on another pc w/ xp

I recently installed a new WD 160Gb drive. I partitioned, formated (NTFS) and installed Windows XP SP3 (using the Windows XP setup program). However, the system has reversed my CD drive and the HD letters.
It gave the HD "E" and the CD drive "C". (It should be the other way around) I can not change the HD letter back to "C". It says I can't change the boot volume letter assignment.
I set the boot sequence in the bios to boot from the CD first, the way it should be for installing a OS, right?
What did I do wrong? Why did it assign my CD drive "C" and my HD to "E"?
Hello. Correct boot sequence, not sure why the letters are reversed - you might be able to (carefully!) correct them, article here seems to explain it fairly well? http://www.petri.co.il/change_system_drive_letter_in_windows_xp.htm
So I have this other System Reserved Partition that isn't for my main drive (C). It is under a drive I use for backing up (F). Now it wouldn't really be a big issue as it isn't much space but it also has it's own drive letter (D) which I find unorganized. I guess I could just remove it which should remove the drive? But I'm not sure if it's safe to do so since I'm not really sure the importance of this even if it's not under my main drive.
Could someone let me know if I can just remove this without issues arriving later?

I installed a 80gb IDE hard drive into my other computer to access data on it and Disk Management lists the drive as "Disk 0" but will not let me assign it a drive letter or explore the drive for data. When you right click the drive it has the "Explore" choice grayed out. The only choice is to "Delete Partition...". On the disk right click choices all you have is "Convert to dynamic disk" and nothing else. The disk is the system and boot disk (I believe that is has a single NTFS partition for the entire drive space) from another PC that I don't need anymore and it has an installation of XP Professional 32-bit on it and the PC that I installed it too is XP Professional also but it is 64-bit OS. I tried a few commands in the command line utility DISKPART but none of those helped me either. I have installed foreign disks in XP many times in the past and have never seen this. Oh, also tried "Rescan Disks" from the Action menu and still no go. Any Ideas?
did you change the jumpers for Master/CableSelect/Slave - appropriate to where you installed
I have recently seen this where windows will not see, but installing UBUNTU as a virtual CD will see the drive and copy any data files
Hey kids:
I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I have my suspicions what the problem is and I hope I'm not right.
Recently my computer died. I pulled my hard drives and DVD drives and stuffed them in another box. I turned it on and it repeatedly restarted after a blue screen of death. The blue screen went by so fast I couldn't read it. Soooo, I reinstalled Windows XP Pro and SP3. After doing so, my second HD is not being assigned a drive letter. Device Manager sees it, Disk Manager sees it and says it's healthy, active and NTFS. Is there anything in the Registry I can change to make it accessible? (ALL of my music and personal documents are on this drive and I can't afford to lose ANY of it.) Or do I have to format it for the OS to recognize it as a drive? Please help soon.
Right click My Computer, click management, then enter the "Disk management application on the left.
Right click the drive that has no letter, click "Change drive letter and paths, Click add, choose an unused drive letter, click OK, and you're set.
I am trying to revive the local Priest's computer - he has nothing backed up (and I'm not even Catholic ;-))
He has a Dell Dimension 933r running Windows XP Home. When he started the computer yesterday it started to boot into Windows and then just restarts in an endless cycle. It got to a point where it came up with an error "autochk not found - skipping autochk" and then a Windows XP BSOD (the ones with some hex addresses) pops up with an error for about a tenth of a second (I cannot read anything on it - it is too fast).
I pulled the drive and put it in another computer. The computer (Win XP Pro) finds the drive and it shows as "healthy" in Disk Management, but it does not assign it a drive letter. I would just like to be able to get in and copy his data.
I tried a repair install, but Windows XP says it cannot intall to the partition.
I downloaded Maxtor's PowerMax (it is a Maxtor 40GB drive) utility and the drive passes all tests with no errors or failures.
I can see directories, etc. when I boot in the Windows Recovery Console, I just can't do anything with them. It tells me "access is denied" when I try to go to documents and settings, etc.
I have tried a fixboot, etc.
Anybody have any ideas how I can help him get his data back?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have five hard drives in my system. Recently after a reboot, one of my drives "vanished"
I rebooted again, it's back. SMART shows the drive is flawless - I suspect a loose connection or something.
My problem is that before the drive vanished, it was G:. Now it's D: (first open drive letter.) When I go into drive management and try to change the drive letter, it's not there. None of the drives showing have it, but it's not in the list.
I need this drive to be G: - how do I find where Windows thinks that letter is allocated and release it?Philo Janus, MCP Author: Pro InfoPath 2007 Pro PerformancePoint 2007 Pro SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 Building Integrated Business Intelligence Solutions with SQL Server 2008 R2 & Office 2010 Blog @ http://philo.typepad.com/with-all-due-respect/
The problem was that the drive letter I needed wasn't in the list.
A note for anyone who reads this in the future who does support - when working with someone who says "a drive letter is missing" make sure to understand if they mean the drive doesn't have a letter assigned, or if the problem is that the letter they need
isn't available. I saw a LOT of this while I was researching this problem - I could tell that the person asking the question was saying that the letter wasn't in the list, but the person trying to help would just point them towards drive management (where
they already were, if you read carefully)
In my case, it turned out I have software running that mounts iso files as CD drives. That's where the drive letter was - it had taken the assignment, but without an iso mounted, it didn't show up in drive management.

Is there any way at all of changing the drive letter of the main hard drive - which is obviously in use? Have got it set at 'I' by accident and want to return it to 'C' drive. I know about changing other drive letters and have done so easily enough but am stuck with this one. Is it forever???
Hello silver2142
You can change the drive letter of anything except the system partition.
Unfortunately, the only real way to change the system partition letter is to wipe and reinstall.
XP won`t mind being installed on "I". It is just an inconvenience to you.

I've seen other postings complaining about this or similar problems, but the suggested fixes did not work for me. I use an external hard drive (E for backing up my photos and other documents on my internal hard drive (C. Suddenly, my computer isn't recognizing my external hard drive at the E: location. Instead, it moves it to a different letter, and does this (changes the letter) every time I unplug the drive and plug it back in. So it will be J, for example, instead of E. When I pull it out and re-insert it, it becomes drive K. Then L. Then M, etc.
Following the advice of those here and elsewhere, I went into Computer Management and used XP's tool for reassigning the drive letter. However, E: was not listed as an option in the drop-down menu! The only options were letters N-Z.
When I restart my computer, it's usually back to E. What's wrong with my system, and how can I lock the drive to the E letter?

Needless to say, I didn't intentionally insert those smiley faces. My state of mind right now is anything but smiley. Of course, I'm talking about the C drive and the E drive, sans smiley faces.

I have a new computer that runs W7 Prof 64 bit. I noticed when I got it the following.
Drive C (W7 on it and it's the boot drive)
Drive E (second hard drive
Drive D (CDROM drive)
Hard Drives are both 1TB SATA3
What is on the E drive is data I copied there.
I would like to change the E drive to D and the CDROM drive D to E.
This way my hard drives will be C and D and the CDROM will be E.
I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help me?
You can do that in Disk Management. Right click on the drive(s) and you will see. But you will first have to assign a different letter (e.g. M) to E or D to free up that letter. If you have data on E, it may lose the path though.Read other 7 answers
I recently removed a 120GB Maxtor H/D that I was using for music storage from my old PC, a HP Kayak and intalled it in a new PC, a Sony VIAO. It's set for cable select, and has no system or app's, only data. The VIAO is running Windows XP Home with SP2. Here's the problem. When the PC is first started, all drives (c:, d:, m: (the Maxtor)) show correctly in Explorer and Disk Managment. But then, some time later (I haven't determined a time, or if I'm doing something) the m: drive disappears. I then have to reboot and it's back, only to disappear again later.

System has two HDs and two disk drives using Win7 Prem.
The main boot drive failed and was replaced. The new drive was assigned as the master and the older drive as the slave. Upon boot, the old D_drive was now the C_drive and the new drive has become the F_drive.
The plan was to install the new hard drive, install Win7 plus backup software, and do a full disk recovery from the disk backup. The recovery disk drive was the failed C_drive.
Through Disk Management, I was able to renamed the current C_drive to D but unable to change the F_drive to C since it is the boot drive.
How can I change the drive letters to what I want and not just rename them?
If this is not possible, how do I get the main boot drive to be renamed to the C_drive?
When I do a recovery of the old C_drive, what drive letter will that be?
Or better yet, how to I get the recovery disk backup to be called the C-drive?

Hi Guys,
Unfortunatley the dude installed my hard drive, installed it as (H:)
This is creating problems as some of my software automatically installs to (C:)
Basically i need to change my hard drive name from (H:) to (C:) asap!
Please, any info or help would be really appreciated.
Laymans terms please.
windows 2000/windows xp
right click my computer
select manage
now select Dick Management
Now select The drive you wish to change on the right window pane
right click where it says H: select change drive letter and path.
The rest is logics.
If one of your cd-rom drive is currently C: then u have to change that 1st to any other letter b4 u can change H: to C:....
Just checked it out myself and seem as if windows dont allow the changing of boot volumes but should work for secondary devices.
Hard Drive keeps losing the letter assigned to it anytime I turnoff/restart computer.
I've taken it out and ran it as an internal and external, it does the same thing on another computer.
I've copied everything off of it and did a long format and after some other tries 2 quick formats. The drive retains data but not the letter, when I used Disk Management.

Hi -
I thought that I posted this question this morning, but in looking through today's questions I don't see my post. Maybe it was moved? Anyway, here it is: 5 yr old Sony VAIO desktop with XP Pro. The floppy a: drive broke and I physically removed it. I bought an external drive (USB) which became b: (obviously before I moved the a: ). I know all the floppy jokes but I'm old and I still use them. I also come across situations when they are called for (I can't make Microsoft's boot disks, etc.). Neither a: nor b: show up in Disk Management so I can't change the letters that way. I've actually tried to remove all the places the a: (phantom) driver shows up. I've hit "uninstall" in the device manager but that only works until I turn the computer off and back on. The computer says that it "found new hardware." I've exhausted my knowledge here. Some programs tell me to insert a floppy disk and when I put it in the b: drive it isn't recognized. I never go in the registry because, frankly, it scares me I've been in the BIOS for very minor things. Can anyone please help me to get this floppy drive to become my a: drive (or maybe just get rid of every trace whatsoever of a: since I deleted the driver everywhere)? I could get the a: driver back if I need to. I was stupid and not thinking about maybe needing the driver. I figured the b:driver will come with me when I call it a:

I had Ubuntu 9.10 on my PC and decided to change to 7. It didn't recognize the main partition so it formatted it, and installed. When the installation was done, my main hard drive letter is E: . I tried changing it through Disk Management: it gave me ''The parameter is incorrect''. I tried editing the MountedDevices registry key: it gave me problems and I had to system restore back to normal.
Is there anyway I can change the drive letter? Maybe with Gparted?

You are probably going to give yourself a bunch of trouble by changing it why not just leave it the way it is?
I've just installed XP onto my new hard drive without a hitch, but what I thought was my C: drive is showing up as my G: drive! Here's what's up:
IDE 0: 30 G (master), CD-ROM (slave)
IDE 1: 8 G 'GAMES' (master), 3 G 'TEMP' (slave)
When I started the installation, the 30 G drive was unformatted and unpartitioned, so I partitioned it, formatted it as NTFS, and installed Win XP on it. The other two drives already had data on them, and are FAT32 drives.
Now, when I look at "My Computer", my 30G drive is the last drive letter (even behind the CD-ROM), even though it's in the primary slot on IDE-0! Can anyone tell me why, and how to change it into the C: drive?
Thanks in advance!

I recently just reformatted and added in another HDD. The old setup was a WD 500GB, Hitachi 1TB, and Seagate 1TB, with a Asus DVD drive all installed through Sata connectors.
When I formatted the F drive, being the Hitachi 1TB, it took the OS just fine and I was able to install all my programs and games. Though when I removed the WD 500GB and installed a newer WD 2TB there seems to be a huge problem.
My drive lettering has automatically changed, forcing the F drive to a G drive, the D drive, which was the DVD drive, has been changed to F.
I've gone through dos prompts from the only known source I can get to, a win 7 install disk in recovery options. Yet every time I change the lettering through diskpart in dos, it never sticks.
Can anyone help me in this terrible predicament.

We just installed an additional 20 gig hd in our 2139 Aptiva e5d. when rebooted, it did not come up with a drive letter, however in the system info it exists. When we went into "device manager" it had no letter assigned, and we were not able to assign one there. In F1 setup it showed both the master and slave correctly. How can we get it a drive letter? We have a cd drive on "G" a cd-rw on "H" and floppy on "A" and our master is "c". Info appreciated!

I have a second internal hard drive with data. Currently it is the slave. I have tried cable select with the same result. Disk management sees the drive but I cant assign it a letter. All options under Task -> All options are greyed out except delete volume. How do I give it a letter so I can access the data?.
I seearched but could not find a solution that worked for me. I have tried to attach two pictures.
There may be a better way, but I've used a drive/partition manager, like Achronis Disk Director to do this in the past, but that was with XP, and DDS is not yet compatible with W7. There must be some software that will work.Read other 4 answers

Hello and welcome to TSG!!
Why do you have the drive split up into so many very small partitions?
Whilst installing a new USB memory stick somehow One of my hard drive letters has changed from F to D?
Computer running Windows 7 starts up ok but most of my programmes and software were on the F drive and I cannot get WIndows EXplorer to work.
I've tried all the tutorials but cannot access any of the administrative programmes to change settings - just says device not ready.
Had to post this from the iPad!
Any help appreciated
can you please upload a screen shot of your disk management?
I have just installed WinXP on a computer and the Letter assigned to the hard drive is E: not C:
I had two HDDs connected when it was installing. The primary master, which was the drive that WinXP was being installed on, and the primary slave, which had WinXP on it but had died and I was going to try to retrieve the data off it. The jumpers were set correctly and the bios was set correctly as well.
I also tried removing the second HDD and rebooting but the drive assignment is still;
A: Floppy
E: Master HDD
I don't seem to be able to find how to change the drive letters so the main HDD can be C:, is it elsewhere in XP because I remember in Win98 it is in the device manager.

Hi all,
I'm running Windows XP SP3.
My external hard disk drive letter keeps changing every time i plug it out and back in again.
For example, if have assigned it to H:\, after plugging it out and plugging it back in again it changes to I:\.
It happens every single time and there is no way to change it back to H:\ as it disappears from the "Change Drive Letter" drop down list in "Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management".
The only way to make the letter come back into the drop down list is to restart my computer.
Please help, i've tried almost everything except reformatting my computer which is something i dont want to do.
Thanks in advance,
Brian ^_^
Hi, welcome to TSF,
are you removing it in the correct manner, i.e. using the 'safely remove hardware' option from your systray?
I have two hard drives installed with the drive letters C: , F: . However D: is also listed but there is no device attached. How do I get rid of this letter designation.??? Also is it possible to switch Drive letters around since my CD-Rom is E: and I would like it to be F: thanks.
CD-ROM drives the easy part, just go into System control Panel -> Device Manager -> and double click your CD-ROM, under the settings tab, assign both the Start and End Letter to F:, this will make it stay at F: no matter what, but its gotta be the first one there, so you gotta have F: drive move first. To get rid of the excess drive designation, we'll need a bit more info
I am setting up a new computer running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I attached an old 500GB USB 2.0 hard drive. System notification showed the driver was successfully installed. However when I looked for the drive in Windows Explorer, it did not show up under Computer.
I ran Microsoft's Computer Management application. Under Disk Management, I see that the drive does not have a drive letter (see attached screenshot). However when I right-click on the drive, the option to assign a drive letter is grayed out. I searched Microsoft's documentation, but the only reason I could find for not being able to assign a drive letter would be if the disk was a system partition or boot partition. But this is just an ordinary HDD that I want to use for backups. What am I doing wrong?

I have a USB hard drive formatted NTFS that my computer recognizes, but will not assign a drive letter. When I go to Disk Management, it shows the partition as "Healthy (Active, Primary Partition)". When I right-click, the "Change Drive Letter"
option is grayed out.
I have several USB hard drives that this computer won't work with.
I have no problem with USB thumb drives, SD cards, etc. Also, some of my USB hard drives do work!
I have Windows 7 Home Premium.
These USB drives work fine on my two other Windows computers (Vista and 7) as well as on my Mac (10.3).
My brother bought a new internal 500GB hard drive a few months ago and saved all of our family photos to it. Well a few days ago he noticed it would not show up as a hard drive in 'My Computer'. If we go to 'Disk Management' the 500GB hard drive shows up without a drive letter and is marked as a Recovery Partition. Does this mean we lost all of our family photos that were on the hard drive?
If you need more information feel free to ask. I'll attach a photo of what i mean.
Welcome to Seven Forums BinaryMadman
The 500GB drive should not be listed as drive 0. shut down the system and swap the motherboard connectors on each drive. Let us know how that effects things for you. Go back to Disk Management, right click the drive in the bottom pane, Assign Drive leter (any will do).
I purchased an external USB2 hard drive case (that has a power cable and USB output cable) and installed a 120GB Seagate drive. It seems like my laptop (running XP, USB1) will recognize the drive when I plug it in (as an USB Mass Storage device) but it does not give it a drive letter (like E) for me to access it. I have tried changing the Master, Slave, Cable Select jumper on the drive with no success. When I plug in a USB thumb drive, my laptop assigns a drive letter and I can access it via Windows Explorer with no problems, but with the 120 GB external drive, I have no luck? The drive shows up under the Control Panel.....Device Manager as a hard drive just under my laptop drive, but there is no way to store files on this external drive. Any suggestions?
Hello and welcome... You may need to configure the drive in winXP for it to be seen properly.
Go here...
Control Panel---> adminstrative tools---> computer management---> disk management...
Does it see the hard there? I believe it will show up as Disk1... Select it and format it, you can also change the drive letter if you would like
Good luck,
Left home for the day and when I came back my H drive letter was missing, there is just a blatant blank spot where it used to be... is there any way I can get it back? I hope to god I haven't lost the info on it.

Right-click My Computer, Manage, Disk Management. Right-click the drive you want to change. You just can't change the system drive letter..
I have built a computer for video editing and named the hard drives (C for the main drive, (M for the drive holding my music, (P for the drive for photos, and I named the drive to store my videos (V. However when I tried to write path to the V: drive I was told V: is an invalid path, I suppose because of the confusion with a \ followed by a / which would give you a \/ which can be confused with V but is not exactly the same. I went to My Computer and right clicked on the V: drive and clicked on "rename" in the drop down menu and changed the name to "Storage" but the (V persisted. Then I renamed again and named the drive "Storage (S" and now in "My Computer" the drive is shown as "Storage (S (V" When writing a path to put videos on this drive can I use either S:/ or V:/ to get videos into this drive? Is there some way to remove the (V ? Thanks.
My guess is that V: might be in conflict with one of your removable media drives. On my new DELL with a multimedia card, I have a V: which is associated with a SD/mini-mmc/rs drive. There are also drive letters S:, U:, and Z: defined for various things (Z: is my CD/DVD drive).
The way that I found to remane drives and drive letter assignments is a disk management tool. Go to the Start menu, right click on Computer and click on manage. That opens up a menu to a lot of things. The thing you want is near the bottom called disk management.
Once you have the disk management screen displayed, you can right click on any drive volume to get a menu of things to do including change drive letter.
I have a situation that isn't really a major problem, but is slightly annoying, and somewhat puzzling.
I have an external 1TB Iomega USB hard drive on my system. It is set to be Drive Y. Most of the time, everything is fine. But occasionally, after I boot the system, I'll get the pop up on the screen asking me what I want to do with Drive J. And yes, the "new" Drive J is, indeed, really my Iomega external drive. I can go into Disk Management, and reassign the drive letter back to Y, and everything is fine again.
Sometimes, it keeps the Y drive letter for several months at a time. But other times, the system treats it as a new drive and assigns drive letter J to it--in anywhere from a few days to several months after the previous time.
As I said, it doesn't happen often enough to be a problem, but I'm curious as to what causes it. Anyone have any insights into this little puzzle?
Look in your registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices. That's where drive letter assignments are stored. Find \DosDevices\Y: on the left side and note the data value on the right. The next time it happens, check the same registry location but find \DosDevices\J: and see if the data value is the same as before. Also see if there's still an entry for \DosDevices\Y:.

My grandfather, Walter, died yesterday. This is the second time this has happened, and will happen again, probably sometime over the next few months. Very morbid I know, but the truth. It was true that it was Walter's time: he outlived two of his three children, two great grand-children, his wife, and most of his friends. I remember being at my cousin's funeral last year, and looking at my grandfather, and him accepting the condolences, and wondering exactly what it was he thought about everything. Was it old and busted to him? Was there a point in his life when he buried on too many family members in which he became numb?
Unlike Carl, my mother's father, who will probably die sometime in the next two months (He is on hospice), Walter, who was my stepfather's father for the record, had his mind fully in tact when he went. It was his body that did not agree with living anymore. With Carl, it is his mind that has given up, and his body will just not let go. Interesting paradox, truth be told.
I haven't cried yet, and I am not sure that I will. Truth be told, I didn't cry when my stepfather died, nor when any of my other relatives died. My Aunt believes I am too much like my mother. Some people have called me unemotional- and to them, I laugh. Anyone who spends five minutes with me knows that is the farthest thing from the truth. I am a very passionate, driven person. And the tears won't bring them back, and they won't soothe my wounds either. They will however, make me blotchy, runny-nosed and sick to my stomach. Little return on big investment, right?
On other notes: my pee is green. Quite the segue right?! I know! My husband laughed and said it was because of all the green food I've been eating lately. I think its because I started a "Stress" vitamin supplement yesterday. C & B Complex, mixed with a little Zinc. I just find it fascinating that its green. I mean like…lime green.
Either way, the avocado and potatoes (not meat and potatoes, remember, I've gone veg) of my current Crazy, Sexy lifestyle? Plateaued. Ugh, how I hate that word. Since beginning my whole lifestyle change I am down about 30 pounds, which is great. But I haven't moved from there in a week.
I knew I would hit this eventually. It was the same spot I got stuck the last time I was dieting. But this, combined with a head-cold and leaving for Vegas in five days, means that instead of letting it get the better of me, I will coast it. That's right, I am going to ride this plateau and make it my bitch.
So I will be maintaining through my trip and when I come back, I will be digging in. To what, you might ask? Well, to this: http://www.couch25k.com . That's right. This Crazy Sexy woman is gonna run three miles.
Okay, I'll wait until you are done laughing to continue. Yes, I hate walking. Yes, I've never run further than to my car in my life. But I need something to break this plateau and I really think that this is it! So when I get back from Vegas, on March 21st, I am starting this program, and I will stick with it, god damn it. If only to prove MYSELF wrong.
I also started using sparkpeople again, but not really for the weight-loss tracking, more to see where my nutrients are coming from and going to. Going as raw as I have been, and making so much of my food from scratch, it is a little harder to track nutrients in my head. And I discovered something rather important: I am shy on protein and carbs. Which might be while I am irritable and sick all the time these days. the solution? More Beans!
Like the Avocado (note: this is now a running gag, and will be beaten into submission), I have had flirtatious relationship with the bean. Black, Pinto, Red, garbanzo, if it was a bean, I was pretty sure it was going to be bad for me. I didn't trust them, as I had only really been exposed to the second-hand regurgitation of re-fried beans. It was like sloppy seconds, and no one likes sloppy seconds. Not even me.
So I have slowly been mixing it up and playing with them. Dried takes an awful long time to prep, so I bought a few cans this week. My decision: I probably like them more el dante then the rest of the world, but if they aren't mush, they seem to be pretty good at filling me up. Score, right? And the carbs? I'm working on that. That might be a hurdle to jump for next week. Or when I get back from Vegas. Any ideas? I'd be happy to listen.
There is so much more to ramble about. Work, friends, life. But I think we're good for now. I'll leave you with a poem I wrote for Carl last month. There are lots of inside stories, so if you don't get it, I'm not offended.
Carl was a smoker
Part of him lived in a cave under the house
Divided to the light and dark, her side and his-
the old leather chair riveted into place with brass brads
A dirty ashtray as tall as her seven year old curiosity, as wide as his palm and melted into the carpet
Piles of half toppled paperwork
A sign of a messy mind is…
Brilliant insanity
All that is left of the inheritance.
Philanthropy is a lesson learned at home
Give Mint
Give Mine
Give summers of laughter
Of a pool so blue it would still be her favorite color twenty five years later
The little home under the forsythia bushes
Stolen Blueberries
The swing made of rope and planks
Tied to heaven.
A raised voice caused ice to form over the surface of imagination
Conversational snoring interrupted by antics of an eight year old
The threat of leather and loss
Enough to make her silent for years to come
Sharp contrast to questions that had no answers
Nonsense martinis with double olives
Even the cat could tell the time by the cubes in the glass.
She went to Duluth and was struck by how blue the water was.
The same color as her son's eyes
As his
He threatened to send her there so many times
And when she came back disappointed he could only laugh
A small shrug
A wink
It would teach her to stay close to home.
Lesson learned.
This is not how she remembers you.
She remembers roses every week,
Seven months swollen with her smallest girl,
A screaming match sending the florist running.
She remembers love,
She remembers the good times,
She remembers the day they met,
But still holds the funeral vigil
While he sleeps.
He doesn't say much these days.
The words have gotten too complex for translation
From brain to mouth seems like so much work
And he is so very tired
Well aware of the heat in which he burned
Has melted reality to his satisfaction.
Now, he is content to look the other way
Give the babies a small smile,
And keep his last words to himself.

Hand and Wrist Injury
Common and some not-so-common injuries of the small joints of the hands and wrists.
The bones, connective tissue and small joints of the hands and wrists are prone to several types of injuries. These injuries can happen in otherwise healthy joints – for example, a blow to the finger causes it to bend backward or jamming a finger causes the tendons to pull away from the bone. In other cases, a disease process may make an injury more likely. For example, wrist bones weakened by osteoporosis are prone to fracture. The following are some of the more common hand and wrist injuries.
Flexor Tendon Injuries
The flexor tendons are long strands of connective tissue that connect muscles in the forearm to the small bones of the finger and thumb, enabling them to move. If one of these tendons is severely injured the finger it connects to cannot move.
The most common causes of flexor tendon injuries are cuts and sports injuries. Flexor tendons may also rupture spontaneously in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Extensor Tendon Injuries
Injuries to the extensor tendons (tendons on the backs of the hands and fingers that enable fingers and thumbs to straighten) can result in a number of different problems. The most common are:
- Mallet finger – a drooping of the end of the finger that occurs when an extensor tendon becomes separated from the bone. This can happen if the finger is cut or jammed. It is also called baseball finger.
- Boutonniere deformity – a deformity in which the joint in the middle of the finger (proximal interphalangeal joint or PIP) bends toward the palm and the joint closest to the nail (distal phalangeal joint or DP) bends upward. It can result from a cut or tear of the extensor tendon at the middle joint, a blow to the bent finger or damage from rheumatoid arthritis.
Other hand and finger injuries:
- Finger dislocations. If a finger is hit or bent back beyond its normal range of motion, it can become dislocated, meaning the ends of the bones move so that they are no longer properly aligned. Any of the finger joints can be dislocated.
- Finger fractures. Finger fractures can result from a number of causes, including jamming a finger, falling on it or closing it in a car door. Regardless of how it happens, the result can be the same: pain, swelling, inability to move the finger, and in some cases, deformity.
- Wrist fractures. A common cause of wrist fracture is stopping a fall with outstretched arms. Although anyone of any age can fracture a wrist this way, the risk is greater in people whose bones are weakened due to osteoporosis.
Wrist fractures may be classified as either Colles' fractures or Smith's fractures. Both are breaks of the radius (the bone of the forearm) near the wrist. The difference is in the way the bone is broken. A Colles' fracture occurs when the bone is broken with the hand outstretched. A Smith's fracture (sometimes called a reverse Colles' fracture) occurs when the hand is flexed and the back of the hand is hit.

I've always admired people who can devote their time and energy to keeping your body fit. As a photographer, it's hard to carve out time to go the gym and work out. The motivation is just not there… until of course you do a fitness shoot! I had the pleasure of shooting this sweet couple a few weeks ago. As soon as I finished the shoot, I went to the gym for about 4hrs! I've been running at least 6 miles a week now and eating healthy. Long story short – headshots, fashion and portraits are awesome but photographers should really do more fitness photoshoots… it's good for their health.
Strobist info: black muslin background, 2 gridded strip boxes at AB800s and one flash behind the camera for a bit of fill.
MVNCI – Royal Court 2013 – Portrait Session
For the past 4 years, I've had the honor of photographing the Miss Vietnam Northern California Intercollegiate Court and every year I've picked a photographer I admire to inspire me when planning for the shoot. Last year, it was a tone down version of Terry Richardson's ring flash white background portraits. http://mosessison.com/
Much props to phlearn.com for providing an awesome tutorial on what type of lighting to use.
Corporate Headshots – UberConference – SF Startup
I had the pleasure of taking corporate headshots for the San Francisco based start up company UberConference. What is UberConference you ask.
"UberConference brings a whole new visual dimension to audio conference calls. From any computer, anyone in the call can see the names, photos, and other information of the others in the call. The display shows the current speaker, and the organizer has a number of helpful tools to keep the conference running smoothly." – Copied and pasted from their website.
I use the product quite frequently when I need to have a meeting with remote clients. It's great and the best part is that it's free! The team at UC are super nice and extremely cooperative. I was actually a bit intimidated because with their Creative Director, Alex Cornell, leading the design team, UberConference has produced some ridiculously awesome promotional videos. Here are few shots from the photoshoot.
Johnny La – Portrait Session – Actor Headshots
I LOVE doing headshots for aspiring actors and actresses. Why you ask? Well let me count the ways:
1. They can take direction. Look up, look down, look straight into the camera, slight smile, no smile, are just some of the directions I give when shooting a headshot. Folks who have studied acting responds to these admirably.
2. On top of taking straight forward directions well, they can also understand "meta" directions. Directions such as look flirtatious, look villainous, look innocent and so on are never followed with, "What do you mean?" They know what I meant and they execute it flawlessly.
3. They show up on time… or even early. Actors and actresses tend to be very punctual or even early for the shoot. They don't arrive 30min late then start acting like a diva demanding make-up and hair done ASAP! They are super humble because they understand how hard it is to work with someone who is a pain in the arse.
4. They are in The Zone with me! This is important because they know that it takes two to make a great headshot, the photographer and the subject. They live in the moment and match each other's energy right from the get go. The Zone can be lonely sometimes so it's always nice to have someone there with you from time to time.
With that said, I truly enjoyed my photoshoot with Mr. Johnny La several months ago. He's a great guy who exhibited the 4 things I listed above. Here's a preview of our shoot. Check out his website at www.johnnyla.com.

Kim and Mary – Portrait Session – Outdoor Sun
For the longest time, I've always thought of Sacramento as boring, stuffy and old smelling. I envisioned that people who live there talk about the Senate, House and the "State of State." Sacramento'nians to me are all politics and no fun. But after meeting and hanging out with the very cute, super fun and semi crazy Mary and Kim, Sacramento doesn't seem all the bad anymore.
It was fall of last year when we decided to do a "Sun Kiss" photoshoot inspired by the photography of John Agcaoili. Both of the ladies came over the house right before sun set and I started debriefing them about the shoot. We chose to shoot during "Golden Hour" because I just love the diffuse warm light the sun provides during that time. I've been scouting for locations to shoot this concept for weeks now and we actually ended up near my house in a deserted horse ranch. It was a relatively fast and very efficient shoot because I've worked with both Mary and Kim before so I barely had to direct them and we transitioned from one shot to the next seamlessly.
The shoot went so fast that when we got home, we actually had enough energy to do a completely different shoot. I was going for the whole Terry Richardson (NSFW) look where the background is about 2 stops hotter and the model is about 1 stop over exposed. Using only 1 ring flash as my light source, I put both Mary and Kim in this small white box that's meant to be a "computer" area in one of the rooms. It worked like a charm. The light bounce around everywhere giving me a nice even background and much of details were kept intact.

Eva Luna – Portrait Session – Model Development
Photographing a model who has extensive dance background is very different that photographing a model who grew up modeling. I had recently had the opportunity of photographing Eva Luna in my favorite studio The Candy Factory in Fremont, CA. Vince Gotti, the Director of Photography at GEV Magazine set the shoot up and contacted the amazing hair stylist Roy from Hairby Roy along with the always fabulous Prince Kaleo from The Armoire Closet to create a fantastic photography set.
Eva was so interesting to work with. Unlike most models who moves from pose to pose, Eva fluidly moved throughout the entire shoot. It was up to the photographer to guide the movement and capture an instance where the movement is at it's most beautiful state. Now I would never give this posing advice when I am doing corporate headshots or portrait photography here in San Jose / San Francisco area but for some reason, she was able to make it work. Maybe it was because she was a dancer maybe she was just really good at what she does; no matter what the reason on how she made "fluid posing" work, I am looking forward to working with her again in the future.

HKLT Royal Court 2012 – Editorial Preview
There have been talks on releasing an editorial spread for the 2012 HKLT Court for close to a year now. Well it's almost near completion and I wanted to give a quick preview. The girls were asked several questions and one the intrigued me most is about the topic of "Beauty". Being a photographer, I certainly have an opinion about beauty but this post is not about me, it's about the the girls. So read on because what they have to say is very interesting.
What are your impressions when you hear somebody talk about beauty, or mention that something or somebody is beautiful? What does "being beautiful" mean to you?
Janet Pham – Beauty means so many different things to each person. When I hear someone use the term "beauty," I find it so subjective. As cliche as it is, I believe that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty could be a reference to one's outward appearance, but this represents a preference and not a universal truth. There is no single, objective standard for physical beauty (even though there are social constructs of beauty in different societies, but particularly in ours with the media and hollywood). To me, being beautiful means to first and foremost love and accept yourself. To be completely comfortable with who you are-your looks, your style, your character, your convictions. Without confidence, physical beauty is easily forgotten. The characteristics that define my personality enables my confidence, and to me, this is what being beautiful means. These things highlight and bring out physical beauty.
Kim Huynh – I love beauty. I don't mean to become abstract, but there's truth in beauty. The rare moments when you come across something so beautiful and perfect, so powerfully transcending it makes you gasp, like you've witnessed something that can never be replicated quite the same way. It's why I believe in the arts, why I belly dance and why I'm an English major. These are moments worth living for, because they're moments I feel alive. When beauty is applied to a person, it's much harder to define. I try to quantify it, break it down into analytically – "Yes, I agree she is beautiful because of the placement of her eyes, or the prominence of her cheekbones." But have you ever noticed that people become worse-looking or better-looking depending on how you like them? In the battle between beauty and personality, you can't discount the latter.
Theresa Ngo – The world and the media places great emphasis on "beauty" and the belief that beauty is everything can often be ingrained into our minds. This is also the root of the problem for women's insecurities and internal conflict to always remain "beautiful" in the public's eye. What defines beauty is truly subjective and it is up to the eye of the beholder. There is a Vietnamese proverb, one of my favorites, that states "Cai net danh chet cai dep". The rough translation means that personality and charm overcomes outward beauty. Beauty should encompass more than just a woman's outward features and genetic gifts-her talents and tribulations; her code of conduct, her values and beliefs, and her wisdom and intelligence should all be considered.
Kimmy Huynh – When I hear people talk about beauty, the first thing that comes to mind would be how beautiful the person looks. Of course outer beauty is nothing if the inner beauty is not there to support what's on the outside. What is considered beautiful varies from individuals to individuals. From the cultures that I have experience, beauty have many forms, but the basis seems to be standard overall, and that is the ability to carry oneself gracefully, be proud of oneself, and have aspirational dreams for the future.

Ulorin Vex – Portrait Session – Model Development
Did you know that your whole body needs to be fully lubricated in order to wear latex? No? Well neither did I until my last photoshoot with British Alternative Super Model Ulorin Vex!
I've never really shot an alternative / punk rock model in the past so I wasn't sure what to expect. I checked out her website prior to the shoot and it was filled with some of the most creatively beautiful / crazy looking images I've ever seen. From doing mostly corporate headshot around Silicon Valley to shooting a latex wearing, red haired British model with nipple patches… the transition wasn't easy. The most risque shoot I've done prior to this was when Adam Pisoni, the CTO of Yammer Inc, decided to take off his tie and shoot outside! *gasp*
After the initial awkwardness of me introducing myself "Hello ummm I am Moses… I'll be taking your pictures today." and her replying with (in an English accent) "Good to meet you." Pip pip, cheerio, carry on." – I added that last part; the shoot went great. We took some full body pictures, several headshots and a couple of portraits. Below are some of my favorite images from the shoot.
Ohh and one last thing… huge thanks to the super sexy and talented Jodie Truong of JodieStudio for creating my new logo.
Fashion Concept – Mad Men Inspired
"Set in 1960s New York, the sexy, stylized and provocative AMC drama Mad Men follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell." – Official Mad Men Site
I have always wanted to emulate the style that Don Draper epitomizes on this show, but, simply put, I don't look good in a hat. Since I can't dress like Don, I decided that taking inspriation from two of the primary female characters for this photo shoot would be more than satisfactory; the always discontent housewife Betty Francis (nee Draper), and everybody's favorite office manager Joan Harris. I couldn't have posted this with more perfect timing, as Mad Men starts the long awaited season 5 at the end of the month.
Special thanks to the impeccable Jessica Do for her hair styling and make-up skills that so expertly captured the 'new-retro' feel I was going for in this shoot. Thanks to Jamie for being my Betty Francis and to Cassie for capturing Joan Harris so well. This set was shot at the always awesome Candy Factory Studio in Fremont, California.

This is the compromise that my husband and I made. He knows better than to turn his nose up at my cooking because I would be very hurt. Also, he really appreciates the fact that I do the cooking because he works 2 jobs and just isn't up to having to make dinner most days (I only work one job weekends so I have more time). He is actually way more adventurous than me, and I have seen him eat things that I made that I wouldn't even touch...and ask for seconds <G>. This whole discussion has made me realize how lucky I am. I am going to give Jeff a big hug when he gets home <smile> Tuffy ------------------------------

These diseases are increasing at an alarming rate. Auto immune diseases are the third largest cause of morbidity in the industrialised world, behind heart disease. They affect women four times more than men. What should concern us is that most auto immune diseases have very little help from conventional medicine, apart from surgery to remove what is thought to be the problem, or drugs that do not address life style changes and nutrition.
So if we are to avoid the 'its too late' outcome of auto immune diseases, where it is thought that you never switch off that gene once it is activated, we need to be alert to the symptoms if they arise. And more importantly, gen up on how to avoid getting problems in the first place.
As we grow older we sometimes think that declining health is to do with age, and accept it as inevitable. That's why it is so important to educate ourselves about our bodies and how they work. Is my fatigue a natural part of getting old? Is thinning hair something that is to expected, or dry skin, or constipation? Why are my eyebrows thinning? Or, rather, is my thyroid under performing and what can I do to put things right?
So when I came across the chance to wise up on the thyroid by listening in to the Thyroid Sessions, put on by Sean Croxton of the US radio show Underground Wellness, I jumped at it! It was launched on the 4th May and finishes on the 17th May. During that time you have the chance to watch three or four expert presentations every two days for free. At any point you can upgrade to gain access to that information beyond the last day. So far 9,500 people have listened in from all over the world. I listen in whilst cooking or doing chores, or just dropping what I am doing to concentrate and take notes. Then I listen again, and am AMAZED at the information I did not take in the first time round. Believe me, this is stunning stuff and it will change people's lives. Click here to join in: Thyroid Sessions and send this post to someone you know who could be helped.
All of these presenters agree that underlying thyroid problems is a problem with gluten, and more generally grains. As one presenter said, there is no-one in the world who has a deficiency of grains! Gluten can initiate and exacerbate thyroid problems, and then set up cross reactivity to other foods, such as rice and dairy. Need help getting into that groove?
We all do. I find that when my mind gets clear about the issues, I am better able to change my habits and my health.
Its smart to cut out gluten, but equally important is the decision to take care of your gut. And this 'simple' observation cuts to the chase. Absolutely educate yourself with new and relevant information. That is the first stage. But in the end when it comes to it don't get bogged down in detail. Find a practitioner who is experienced at treating the thyroid, as the speakers in the Thyroid Sessions, and work at healing your gut, change your diet to thyroid friendly foods, and deal with stress. Cut out soya, eat more bone broths and organ meats such as liver, and stop those raw kale smoothies (raw cruciferous vegetables are goitrogenic and affect the thyroid) One of the presenters recommended the app Inner Balance to help with meditation and heart rate variability. I am a great believer in 'short cuts' and this promises to deliver. And if you are not used to eating liver on a regular basis check my next posting for some cool ways to eat it and enjoy it, including how to make liver capsules if you still can't stand the thought of tasting it! In the meantime check out this cool video of a toddler eating liver for the first time. She absolutely loves it, despite her mother's own ambivalence and obvious dislike!
Join in on the Thyroid Sessions and learn how to make the changes that will change your health and your thyroid for good. Read the comments of other listeners and see how these talks have changed their lives, and their outlook, to empowerment and to hope.
