Hi,

My computer was running slow as hell, constantly freezing etc. So I decided to reinstall vista. I backed up everything onto my external 250gb HDD.

The reinstall went fine, however when I attempted to view my external HDD after reinstallion it wouldn't appear in my computer.

I went to disk management and the HDD can be seen however, I can't assign it a drive letter or anything. I'm getting the option to delete volume.

I'm freaking out now because they're alot of old pictures on it.

Any ideas?
