External Drive

I am running Vista Home Basic. Recently I installed a new internal drive as
the master, and kept the original partitioned one as a slave. Since then, of
two external usb drives I have, one shows and works ok, but the computer
will not show the other one. If I connect this drive to any other computer,
it is recognised and works ok. Prior to installing the internal drive, it
worked alright.

Help needed please.

Brian

Try changing the drive letter.

Thanks for the reply. It didn't show a drive letter at all, so I allocated
it one and formated and it's ok now. Thanks again.
