In partition magic, right click on the partition and look at the
advanced options. I seem to vaguely recall options to the effect of
giving it a drive letter, unhiding it etc... This is all from memory,
I've since moved the HD with all my MP3's and such into my server box
which shares them over NFS and samba, for a much nicer cross platform
filing system. :-)

Hope This Helps,
