Default Increase drive letters

Could do with a bit of help please as I am several thousand miles from home
and my books to tell me how to solve this problem are back there.

Trying to upgrade an old Dell Pentium 3 machine which has been given to my son
and daughter in law.

I want to put on an additional hard drive. Have done so and it is visible in
the BIOS and Windows Device Manager, but it will not show up in Windows My
Computer.

Have gone into the Control Panel to try and assign a drive letter but this is
grayed out. I am guessing Dell have set the maximum number of drives at 3,
which is has fitted. I recall it is possible to change this but cannot
remember how to do it.

Any pointers or help gratefully received.
