    Harddrive not recognized?

    I have a WD Ac21600h hard drive(1.6 gig) that came out of a system running win95,I would like to use the files on it ,but the new computer(also running win95) I've installed it to won't assign it a drive letter.It is recognized in the bios as well as Windows Device manager. I've tested it using WD "data lifeguard tools" and it comes back free of errors.The only problems I can see with it is that "partition Magic" identifies the partition as "EZ-Drive"and not Fat/fat32.The drive had also been Infected with the "NYB" virus and the boot sector may be messed, although it was not the Boot drive on either the old or new systems.I tried installing the drive back into the origial system,but I had formatted the primary boot drive with "partition magic"using "Fat"(re-installed win95)and it no longer could access the files.

    Any Help Appreciated,

    I've been fighting with the same problelm. Go to the drive space program. Under "advanced" select the "mount" command. There
    you will be albe to tell windows where your new drive is.

    Good luck
