SATA drive has no drive letter and is not seen in Windows XP

by jackthehat2003 . Updated 19 years ago

Hi,
After a disk crash I rebuilt my PC loading all the software from scratch.
Now I find that my single SATA drive does not appear in Windows Explorer.
If I look for it in disk management I can see it, all that is missing is a drive letter. If I right click, I get the option to “delete the partition” or “help”, all other options are grey’d out.
In device manager there are no warnings or question marks.

Does anyone know what button I have to press or icon I have to click to get Windows to see the drive ?

The drive is a Maxtor 300gb 150, MoBo is ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe, OS is XP SP2

Thanks
Jack.
