Well you should go into computer management, disk management and assign it a drive letter.<br />
<br />
But goback will have to go first. &nbsp;It is out of place in XP, XP manages all changes to the drive goback just gets in the way, so remove it, then assign it a drive letter in disk management.

you will have to install goback on your systems drive.And then from there you should be able to see the 40gb drive with a drive letter ,otherwise use Goback to remove the goback partition on the 40gb.<br />
<br />
Good Luck

This is a 40GB IBM IDE drive. &nbsp;Its been woring fine in the past and noting new has been installed or modified on this system. &nbsp;The drive passes all tests as a good drive but has no drive letter in Windows. &nbsp;In storage management it appears as healthy - but with no drive letter. &nbsp;I have so far tried:<br />
<br />
<br />
Removing and redetecting the drive.<br />
<br />
Booting with the drive unplugged and then reconnecting it.<br />
<br />
Connecting the drive to a different PC - same result.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
