It wasn't the secondary drive that died. It was the
primary drive that died and was replaced. The secondary
drive was working fine but now it's the one that Windows
won't acknowledge.

If the hard drive "died" you won't be able to. If you
don't care about the
data on it you could try using FDISK and FORMAT from your
bootable floppy
diskette to wipe and reformat the drive. Otherwise this
is likely a case
for a professional, if there is data that must be
recovered.

I was running two hard drives in my computer. The
primary
hard drive (c died. I replaced it, loaded Windows ME
again and the new drive seems to be working fine. It is
jumpered and cabled as the primary, master drive (like
the
one it replaced). I reconnected the second hard drive
and
it was detected by the bios but it does not show in
Windows. It is in the device manager as well but with
no
drive letter assigned to it. The secondary drive is
already formatted and partitioned with Fdisk from when I
initally installed it. I did not change the cabling or
jumper settings. How can I get Windows to assign a
drive
letter to the drive and make it accessable again?
