Default Is USB hard disk partitions not reconised under Vista RC1(build 56

I have a portable harddisk using USB 2 interface, when i boot into microsoft
vista i can see the device, but unable to read the paritions under it, but
when i boot under windows XP SP2, the USB portable harddisk works as fine, is
it a bug in this vista build?

Did you go into the Disk Configuration Manager (diskmgmt.msc) and assign
drive letters to the partitions on the drive? Ignore any message(s) to
format the drives, simply assign letters and all should be well.
