Computer#1 experienced inability to boot (message was a corrupt file in
windows\system32\config\system). Tried using Norton GoBack, didn't work,
tried repair via XP Pro CD, didn't work.
So, I pulled the c: drive and installed as a slave in Computer #2 in order
to recover user files, etc. I have done this before, but this time the
system will not assign a drive letter. BIOs sees the drive, Device Manager
sees it as disk 1, Disk Management see it but when I right click the only
option Disk Management gives me Delete Partition - which I do not want to do
just yet. Disk Management says it is healthy and is NTFS.
Could the difficulty lie in the fact this slave drive was a "c:" drive
(master boot, etc.) in #1 and #2 recognizes that and won't let me assign it
a letter?
Thanks for you help
