    The drive was formatted to WBFS using USB Loader. When hooked to a pc it installs drivers and says its ready for use but there is no driver letter assigned to it. How can I assign a drive letter to the WBFS partition. Reformatting/Data Loss is NOT an option.

    If you go to Start -> right click Computer -> Manage -> Disk Management , can you see the drive ?

    Also are you sure the drive has been formatted to WBFS format ?

    And most important do you have WBFS Manager installed on your PC ?

    install WBFS manager; you're NOT suppose to view it normally in windows.
