Hard drive volume letter not displaying

Hi,

I just installed a new seagate Serial ATA hard drive. It is connected
directly to the motherboard. When I rebooted the computer the drive didn't
display under My Computer. It is visble in system management, and Win XP Prof
03 indicates it is functioning normally.

How can I display the drive volume letter?

Format and assign drive letter in Disk Management.

Use TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp
(Make sure you do not get the 64 bit version)
Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP

Its My Computer - Drives make sure that the letter assigned in Computer
Management - Disk Management is checked to be visible

goto your diskmanager format the drive and allocate partitions to it,
this should work well.
