Default Windows does not assign a letter to my slave harddrive

I have a PIII Windows 98 PC with two Hard Drives – 10 GB and 40 GB. The 10 GB
one used to store the software and 40 GB one store the files like photos and
doc. For some reason the PC crashed and I had to reformat the 10 GB one and
reinstalled the windows 98. However, after the installation, I can not see
the 40 GB one in My Computer. I can see it in the setup, and I can also find
it named as ‘Generic Disk’ in the ‘Disk Drives’ under Control
Panel\System\Device Manager. But there is no letter assigned to it. And it
does not allow me to manually assign the letter. I have the Hard Drive
installation disk but it requires the erase of the disk. Is there any way
that I can bring back that disk without erase the files already in there?
