hi all, i am new to this forum so i dunno if this has been posted before so pls help me. recently i had formatted my computer and now my secondary hard disk does not show in my computer and i am not able to access it. it had not been assigned a letter. during the setup process it says that it will be assigned the letter F but it didnt happen. i know my hard disk is not spoilt as when i right click my computer and go to manage, the drive is there and it is healthy and active onli thing is there is no drive letter assigned to it. my OS is windows xp service pack 2 and pentium 4 2.4 ghz with 512 ram. the hard disk that is unable to be detected is a maxtor 20gb.i i included a screen shot. i cannot afford to format this disk as i have valuable information backed up in it before i formatted my C drive. btw the F drive that you see in the screen shot is my thumb drive and isnt F supposed to be the letter assigned to my secondary hard disk.
