No the drive was not part of a fault tolerant set
Yes, it is a NTFS format (both partitions)
No, I cannot assign a drive letter
I ran Chkdsk /f/r but, of course, this didn't dio anything to help me with
the phantom drive.
In Disk Admnistrator it had a place holder for the drive but no properties
are available, no format, no assign drive letter, no options what-so-ever.

What ya think?
