Removable USB drive does not show on drives list.

[NevadaGator]

I have both the drive's driver and the USB 2.0 driver shown as working properly, and the drive appears (also working properly) in my disk drive list in device manager, but does not show in My Computer. How do I assign a drive letter to it and access it? The manual shows how to partition it.... I already have data in it. Everything is active and working properly in the list of connected USB devices.

Help!

BTW WinXP.

P.S. The drive was pulled from a WinME system. Is the FAT-NTFS that is the problem?

Right click my computer, then click manage and look under storage,disk management.

i used fat32 so as to be compatible with 98 as well as Xp.

i also believe it has to be fat32 but may be wrong about that.

it has to be a primary partion too.

wrong forum, perhaps?

I posted it here since the reason I'm connecting it is to network the drive between desktop and laptop. I got all the way to where I can see it... how do I assign a letter to it now? I'm so close!
