HI!
I just moved a win98 hard drive (fat32) into my XP machine to move some data. The drive works fine in the other computer. CMOS detects the drive correctly, as does device manager, saying that the drive is ready for use. However, it hasn't been assigned a drive letter and isn't available in Explorer. I went to disk management to assign one myself, but unfortunately all options are grayed out for that disk, including the one to change drive letters. However, it still says that the partition is online, and that it's "healthy (active)".
I've seen a lot of people online with similar problems, but not quite the same as mine. Any ideas?
Thanks!
