1. Load up Disk Management
2. On Action menu, click Rescan disks
3. When the disk shows, right click the partition and select Change
Drive Letters and Paths
4. Select a new letter e.g. D: and close Disk Management
5. Open My Computer and it should show up.

Please note: Dynamic disks created with Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro
will NOT show up in XP Home. FAT32 and Basic NTFS disks should be fine
in all other cases.
