New external hard drive problem

[drrocket]

Hi,

I have bought a new HDD and put into an external case which attaches via the USB into my laptop. Problem is i cannot format it in Administrator tools although it does show up. Any ideas what im doing wrong? By the way the drive is not showing unless i scan the drives in Admintools/data management/storage.

Thanks

Have you set the hard drive to slave?
