Disk volumn not visible
I have a disk that contains Windows ME with FAT32. It boots fine in the ME
computer. I take the disk out of that computer, place it in an external powered USB enclosure and attach it to another computer running XPSP3. XP recognizes the USB enclosure device, but does not assign a drive letter to the volume on the disk. The disk shows up in Disk Manager as "Healthy (Active)" but when I try to manually assign a drive letter, the only option I am presented with is Delete Partition which is not an acceptable option. Can someone explain why I am unable to mount this disk with a visible volumn?

Can someone explain why I am unable to mount this disk with a visible volumn? Did you have GoBack installed on ME? Did you perhaps have a drive overlay installed to overcome a BIOS limitation? Most drive overlays, including GoBack, will move the partition tables and place an unknown "type" of partition in the table. Microsoft does not support non-MS types.

Hi musicman,
Have you checked jumper pin settings. If set to master I think this problem can occur. -- Regards Oni "musicman" wrote: I have a disk that contains Windows ME with FAT32.
