I have a hard drive taken from a computer that crashed. I have installed it in an external hard drive enclosure from dynex. When I install it the hard drive shows up as healthy (NTFS partition) in both device manager and computer management. However it does not show up with a drive letter. I cannot assign it a drive letter in computer management or in map drive letter. I need to be able to access the data on this hard drive.

Thank you for any help
