Re: XP Won't assign a drive letter - internal HD

I just installed XP home, and I have a Maxtor as a second hard drive and it is doing the same thing. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, unplugged it, plugged it back in. I haven't got around to trying to plug it into the same cable that the CDRom is on, and I can't remember if it is cable select or master/slave. Too bad no one has responded to your message, I would really like to recover the data on my other hard drive. I may have to put it in a second computer, and burn disks off it.

Good luck,
Don

Hi, welcome to TSF.

Have a look at this: Have you "lost" a hard drive, partition or files in your computer?
