453731 2006-05-10 10:16:00 Do you mean it is a Maxtor? Have you formatted the drive yet? Is it visible under Disk Management? Jen (38)
453732 2006-05-10 10:40:00 Yeah you usually have to "initialize" external hdd drives when you 1st buy them prior to being able to use them, as mentioned it's under disk management in windows :)
