I don't recall what happened but now the E, F, G drive icons are not present in My Computer. The DVD ROM drive used to be H drive but is now represented with E drive. Went to DOS to check the directories of E, F and G but I got "invalid drive specification" for each.What happened and is it possible to restore or get back the documents in E, F, G?Thanks.
