Creating a volume and formatting it might work but it would also destroy the contents of the drive.

You can assign a drive letter in Disc management without destroying the file system. I tend to do that as it means they don't change. The problem could be caused by another device being added that took the usually allocated driver letter. I think I've seen a problem like this when I allocated the same letter to two different devices, and then plugged them in at the same time.
