hard drive lost it letters ?

[SkidMark]

i run 2 HD 's , the first with 2 partitions , (system and games )
the seconf HD udes to be 2 equally sized logical partitions for data . I used partition magic to resize them (running out of space on one of them) , i've done this many a time with 98 or Me
all went well in Partition magic , but when i rebooted XP no longer sees the last drive ... or rather it does , kind of ..

the HD shows up fine in bios , in device manager , it even shows up in XP's disk management , wierd thing is it just the 2 partitions
as being "healthy" but no drive letters are assigned !
i try to assign letters manually , but it wont let me

i dont want to re-create partitions , etc. cos i dont want t olose the data on them .

help , any ideas ?
