Slave Drive, cannot be assigned a Drive Letter.



Took a Win98 Drive a user was reporting could not be seen in WinXp.
Brought it to Win2000. Had no problem viewing it.

Took it to Win XP. Drive is seen in Bios, seen in disk management..
but all options are greyed out. Can not assign a drive letter.
Otherwise healthy.

I have three lines to try from my thinking ..

1. Stick it back in Win2000 and export.
2. Stick it on the Secondary IDE chain, and make it a master.
3. Use Partition Magic.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember something about drive
identifiers.. or perhaps active partitions.....

Thanks...

Chris
