Windows 7 64 Ultimate and an XP disk as a secondary drive.

[Raisons]

I am running Windows 7 64 Ultimate and have as a secondary drive a Windows XP64 Pro drive with a lot of data on it.

The only way, that I have found, to see the disk is in the Disk Manager, and it only shows the four partitions. Clicking on it only offers to delete the partitions.

The XP64 system has been parted out, and I would like to have the data available on the new system.

I can not "take ownership" because it has no drive letter.

How can I get Windows 7 to accept this drive and allow full access to it?

Under disk manager you should be able to go to the partition, right click on it, and assign drive letter.

Is the XP drive encrypted??

The disk has 4 partitions, and the 4th is the one I want. When I right click all options are grayed except "Delete Volume".

The disk is not encrypted.

If I could assign a drive letter, then I could take ownership and be on my way.

The display says healthy basic drive. I thought it was NTFS???

P.S. (I had to allow 18 script sites just to try for a fix...)
