Probably not but you have to tell Windows that this partition should have 
a drive letter.  You can do this through the control panel, administrative 
tools, computer management, disk management.  If the partition shows up 
there and is recognized as FAT, then you can just assign a drive letter
and reboot.  OK, maybe you can get away without rebooting.
