Hi

Just installed a second hard drive and it cant be seen in MY COMPUTER. It is being regonised by the bois in post, and even when i go to device manager. When i click on the properties of the of the hard disk in device manager i can't assign a drive letter to it.

What the hell is going on!!

Thanks in advance
 
Did you install the software that came with it, that will walk you through the format process and make it visible to the comp.
 
Are you in the device manager or in the disk manager?

Make sure you're in the disk manager. You get there like this (assuming you're using XP or Win2k) Right Click on My computer -> Manage -> Storage -> Disk Management

While in there, find the new drive. Right click on the gray bar on the left and choose Assign ID or something to that effect (I don't remeber the exact menu option). Then right click on the right side and format the drive.

Viola, you should be set to go!
