• I have a drive letter changed many times it show up in disk mananger and on pc named in pc ssd drive d does not show up in file explorer nor can I eject ssd(d) greyed out I can however eject the ugreen enclosure . Been using this same external and same usb c port for 8 months. Now nothing but issure update drivers did not work even after windows 11 update no issue . Until this morning. . Cannot get file explorer to see external drive or eject. Wtf happened. Many tutorials at a loss even my other external with letter z reads hddback up is in the same situation. Both drives are fine in my other two laptops but not on this asus ally. Everything is on current updates. This is driving me bonkers! Do I eject the ugreen enclose case and all good always had the option to eject both I always chose ssd. Every 10 minutes I get update available but there is none not on asus login not on pc side. I click on update nothing bios up to date as well. Issues arising. I think I need to just read a book. Take a walk. Bury all my electronics. Haha my last step is wipe clean reinstall start over. After my walk and after I finish that book!

• Hi for me it appears in Change, but I don't have access to click, how to adjust this

• So my external doesnt show up at the top of disk management and only shows up as unallocated at the bottom? I cant figure out what to do

• Useless

• thank you

• Mine shows up as Disk 1 on the bottom. The top list only shows 3x Disk 0 partition 1,4,6. Windows C: There is no Disk 1 listed on top for me to change the drive name.

• it work thank u but why that happned in the first place

• its doesnt allow me to add a letter there is is a error when i press that

• thank you so much sir.

• IF IT DOESNT WORK TRY THIS! once you’re on disk management click on the capacity part that says how many gbs the disk has and click on delete volume. for me the option of changing the disk letter wasn’t even there. then click new simple volume and it should give u a little pop up. click next until it’s fully installed. then when u open file explorer you should see it labeled new volume! hope that helps <3

• DOSENT WORK
