I have a computer with 3 physical hard drives - C,D,E. I had a copy of XP Pro
installed on the C Drive. This installation was slowing down and I decided to
get a larger drive to replace the C Drive. I removed the old C Drive and
replaced it with a 250GB Western Digital drive. I performed a clean install
on the C Drive. When I go to Explorer, only the C Drive shows up. In Disk
Management, all 3 Drives appear with the proper sizing etc. but only the new
drive (C) has a drive letter assigned to it. If I right click on the other
Drives, the only choice available is to Delete Partition.
Is there a trick to getting the old drives recognized in the new install?
Can I take ownership of the old drives in the new install?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
