    I have a new CQ desktop SR5113WM with Vista. I instaled my old XP hard drive
    WD400BB, it shows up in the Device manager but it has no letter and dosen't
    show in Coumpter. I wanted to get old files from it. Would like help.

    Thanks!

    You'll need to assign it a letter.

    To do this, go to Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Administrative Tools-->Computer Management-->Storage--->Disk Management.

    Here you can right-click on the drive in question, and the menu that pops up should give you an option to assign a drive letter.
