Sorry, should have mentioned that both drives are using WinME.

Hello, all,
I was using my mother's computer because mine blew the
motherboard/pcu chip. Because of errors that developed on her hard
drive, I installed mine as master and hers as slave. I did this
because I want access to files and programs on hers, most importantly
a driver file that I need for the PCI video adapter. BIOS finds it,
as does system's hardware manager. Unfortunately, I am unable to
assign a drive letter to it. Is there a way I can do this without
formatting the slave drive?
Thank You,
Scott
