Drive letter

Post by Tomo93 »

Hi everyone! I have a problem that needs to solved and I urgently need some advice/help:

I’ve downloaded all of my torrents to an external hard drive, which its drive letter is (F:).
One day, I unplugged my external hard drive and inserted an SD card to transfer some photos to my computer. The computer assigned the SD card with a drive letter (F:) as well. However, After transferring all my photos, I noticed that my torrents were being automatically “moved” or “transferred” to the sd card folder, and due to lack of storage, these new imported torrent folders were basically empty. I believe this was caused because Windows assigned the SD card with the same drive letter (F:) as my external hard drive while running in the background. Unfortunately, the completed torrents are nowhere to find and I’m left with empty folder with no content at all.

Does anybody know how to fix this or a way I can recover my downloaded files?

Thank you I advance!

Well not sure how to get out of this mess, but next time just press WIN+X and in the menu choose "Disk Management". Here you can right-click each partition like your SD card and pick "Change letter". That's all.
