Just a quick question

I added a 100Gb hard disk to a friend;s PC this am - in windows Control Panel /System/ Device Manger it shows up perfevctly correctly but windows XP is not seeing it at all in explorer or My Computer - any ideas???

It might be mapped to a letter that is already in use.

Or it might be a foreign disk that needs converted to normal if you already have stuff on it.

Or if it is brand new, just format it.

Have a check in disk manager

Right click on "My Computer" > "Manage" > "Disk Management"

You should see all your disks in the list, it may need to have a partition created on it or formated, you'll be able to do it all from here
