Harddrive doesn't appear in my computer

I have an external hard drive which I have formatted and appears in disk
management as working ok. I can access the drive through a program but it's
not listed under my computer. Any ideas how I can make the computer see the
drive in my computer?
 
It may be the same thing I just went through trying to assign drive letters
to my USB 6 in 1 card reader.

I had to be logged on as the administrator, went to Administrato
Tools>Computer Management.
Once there under Storage>Disk Management I was able to assign drive letters
to devices that were installed correctly, but didn't have logical drive
letters.

Hope that helps you,
Paul B

Use TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP

Its My Computer page has a check box for each drive letter to show it in
My Computer - make sure the relevant one is checked
