Can't assign drive letter to slave hard drive after reinstall of X

Guest

I had to reinstall XP because of spyware issues. I saved important data on
my slave drive. I reinstalled XP. Now the bios, device manager, and disk
manager recognizes the slave drive but didn't assign it a drive letter. In
disk manager it shows as a basic disk, NTFS, Healthy (Active), 18.65 GB,
Online. When I right click the volume to assign a drive letter it is grayed
out. The only option is to Delete it. NOT what I want to do. What do I do?

msc.
