Here is the picture of my problem in MS Word format:
I put in a hard drive from an old PC and told someone I would get their data off (it's probably Windows 98) with a FAT32 partition.
XP Home does NOT assign a drive letter to it. There are no options in Disk Management except to delete the partition. I've tried it with the partition being active and not active (changed by booting to a Windows 98 floppy). Nothing I do can give me a drive letter to browse the disk in Explorer.
XP is supposed to be able to read FAT32 so something else is going on here. It's an old Maxtor 20GB drive if that matters.
