drive letter missing

[Ron54]

I have a PC with 2 hard drives (C & E). I recently lost my C drive and had
to replace and rebuild it. I am running XP Pro and I am unable to access my
E drive. It shows a volume of 'Gateway II' and I am unable to assign a drive
letter to this volume. I have approx 30gb of information on this drive.

Does anyone have any ideas for me?

It isn't one of those PC Angel protected partitions is it? Can Computer
Management (compmgmt.msc) see it (click on Disk Management)? If so, just
assign it a drive letter by right clicking on the partition.

Ron, was the original configuration of the drives a Dynamic or Basic one?
If Dynamic, it maybe more of a headache retrieving data from E. If Basic,
did you reinstall WinXP on C:
with E: still connected?
