    Hi everyone, I have installed my old harddrive, (3yrs old) on this system.The slave is a Maxtor DiamondMax 3400 Ultra ATA, I set the jumpers per specs on Maxtor's web site. It shows up on boot-up as slave and in the BIOS. But how do I find it to access it? Was I supposed to assign it a drive letter? My OS is Windows 98 SE. I also have a CD-Rom and a DVD player as D:, and E: drives. Hope this helps you help me.

    Thanks, Gary

    Drive letter assignment is automatic and done by the system.

    Where does it show up during boot?
    What do you see in the BIOS?
    Can you see the drive using Windows Explorer?
    Does the new drive have an OS installed?
    What are you trying to access on the drive, a program - or data?
