Teach you a trick to solve the problem of the disappearance of the drive letter icon under XP system

  
The drive letter is the identifier of each partition, and Windows recognizes the partition by the drive letter. However, sometimes we have to artificially create a diskless partition: for example, you can remove the partition letter that holds important files to protect the file. However, if the partition does not have a drive letter, we will not be able to access the files directly. Then, if the drive letter icon under XP system disappears, what should I do?
There are not many friends who may have encountered this problem, and we will look at the solution through the following situation:
This I installed a shadow system. In the shadow system, the icon of the drive letter was changed to something else. After I uninstalled the software and then entered the system normally, I saw that the drive letter icon on my computer became like this. It’s not good to restart, so I would like to ask the experts here to see if I can solve this problem for me. Thank you! I have reinstalled the shadow system now. Still like that.

The drive letter is the identifier of the DOS and WINDOWS system for the disk storage device. Generally use 26 English characters plus a colon: to identify. Through the above methods, I believe that if you encounter a similar situation in the future, you will be able to deal with it well. Of course, if you are effective, don't share it with your friends.
