I have the same problem. I built a new system with a SATA HDD and wanted to slave my old IDE drive into it to transfer data. I couldn't get a drive letter, so I bought an external case and connected it that way. Still no drive letter. Drive letter cannot be re-assigned for the same reason. I believe this is b/c the IDE HDD is my old MBR disk. Is there anyway I can get rid of that while still keeping my data?
