How to make Me recognize a second hard drive Tuesday, March 28, 2006 at 12:57 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by alyxx (4 messages posted) Hi. Can someone please help? I'm running Windows Me and am trying to retrieve data off a Western Digital Caviar hard drive that was on an XP computer. (The HDD on the WinMe pc is also a WDC) The BIOS knows the second HDD is present, as a slave drive, and identifies it correctly. But no new drive appears in Windows Me under My Computer. The Windows Me Device Manager shows the new drive, but under Properties, there's no letter associated with it. I tried to assign one, but you can only do that to one that's "Removable", which I inferred to mean a CD-type drive. DM reports that the drive is functioning normally. The drive has the XP operating system on it, but I'm not using it - I just want to rescue the data. How can I get the drive to appear in Windows Me "My Computer"? Thanks for your help.
