Hello
I just installed a new secondary hard drive it is recognized in the system
settings and also in the CMOS however it is not recognized in the "my
computer" section of XP in other words it hasn't been assigned a drive
letter. I only have (4) IDE devices the other devices are recognized. I tried
the drive in another computer and no problem. The Device manager sees the
drive as being part of the system and shows no conflicts. DOes anyone have
any advice on how to get this slave drive up and running?

Right click My Computer, Select Manage then Disk Management. You can
format it there and assign a drive letter.
