Did it work in XP?

What does the device manager say? Is it even recognized?

 

[mikee]

yes it worked in xp and it shows up in device manager in vista but no in my computer. still no good

 

[mikee]

any ideas?

What file system does it use, NTFS or FAT32?

 

[mikee]

ntfs and it shows up in device manager just not in my computer

Shows up working, or with an Exclamation mark in Device Manager?

Post a screenshot of Device Manager if it's not a hassle.

i think its becaue the hd format is messed up during the install. i formated a hd that didnt appear in MC once using the install cd, and it showed up

EDIT: I just found out ur hd has files in it, so sad... shoulda backed up

 

[mikee]

I took the hdd out and put it in my old p2 and backed up to my dads so no data is lost fortunatly

So now you can see the HD?
Also, install those drivers.
