Disk Drive Missing in Windows 98(No Drive Letter Assignment)

[phillyman]

Due to a bunch of problems, I recently had to reinstall Windows 98. I have three hard drives in my system. Anyway, I reformatted the C Drive, reinstalled Windows 98 and got the system up and running. All three drives show up in the BIOS ok and all three also show up in the Windows 98 Device Manager. But one of the drives, a Maxtor 60mb, does not have a drive letter assigned to it. When I click on it in the device manager, there is no drive letter assigned.
I've run some utilities on the disk from floppy and everything seems to be ok with the drive, it is just not showing up in Windows.
Any ideas? I'd really like to get to the data on this drive!!

Is it actually a 60mb drive? If so, why would you use it?
At any rate, how is this drive partitioned and formatted?
How many partitions/logical drives do you have? Check the config.sys for a "lastdrive=" statement and set equal to "z" if not already.

set the hard drives in the bios to AUTO

if that doesn't work try moving the hard drives to different controllers.

make sure you have the jumper settting correct
