Old hdd will not show up in "my computer"
So my freind got his parents a new (old) computer and we are trying to pull off some pics and files they had on their old computer but I cannot get the drive to show up in explorer with the other drives. I have tried it in 2 different computers now, the new one my friend bought them which is running XP, and my computer which has win7. I get the same result in both. The drive loads fine and shows as working in device manager but it will not assign it a drive letter and it wont show with the other HDD's.
I have also tried to go into computer management and assign the drive a letter but it will not the me. The drive shows as Disk 0 and is marked as Healthy (Active, Primary partition) but if I try to right click on it the change stuff the only to option I can click on are "delete volume" and "help".
The dive is an old quantum fireball kx20.5 and I am told it has windows 98 on it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I have to do to get it to show? It has the old EIDE connection type and I have set it to slave with the drive jumpers.
