Hi folks, I have a problem.

I recently installed a new Athlon motherboard in my machine and thought
I'd add a second hard drive to increase space.  No matter what I do I
can't get windows to give it a drive letter.

The machine accepts the drive is there on start up, no matter what
configuration I give it (Secondary slave, Primary slave, secondary
master) and windows did accept it in the device manager window, but
checking settings there is no drive letter for it - and I can't give it
one.

Any ideas?

I had formatted it, but using windows 98 on a different machine - it
obviously doesn't like that!  Thanks for the idea.

Thanks, and a good point - in my eagerness to find a newsgroup on win95
I missed the ip in the title, apologies for offending your
sensibilities.
