I feel like a moron comming here to ask this questionn, seeing I do know what I'm doing with computers. But I cant figure it out, and I know that this forum is the best place to come. Here it goes.
I just procured a new Maxtor 120 GB 7200 RPM drive for my computer. I have an AMD Athalon 2400XP+ 2 GHz, 512 MB RAM, GeForce mx440 64 MB Video card. Nothing too big, nothing fancy. It is running Windows 2000 Professional. I have the drive plugged in, set as a slave. The BIOS reads it as a slave and every other spec it is supposed to see, even Windows sees the drive, somewhat. The device manager reads it, but I cant seems to access it. Nowhere can I find an entry into this 120 GB hard drive that is seemingly working properly on my computer.
