Adding a FAT32 Hard Drive to XP Machine

[Guest]

Please Help!
I have a hard drive from a Win ME computer that I would like to move to a
Win XP computer. I have installed the drive and can find it using Compaq's
system utility, but. . . There are no drive letters assigned and the disk
will not mount or show up in My Computer.

What do i need to do?

Open Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager and see if the
additional hard drive is listed there.

If it is then use Start - Run - DISKMGMT.MSC and see what it reports
for the status of the additional hard drive.

That will tell us what needs to be done next.

Good luck
