Can't access harddrive

[Nomad]

I installed my 120GB harddrive as a slave on my other PC, but I am unable to access It. Windows XP detected It, and I can see It in the device manager... http://www.boomspeed.com/damon559/DM.JPG ...but I cannot see It in my computer... http://www.boomspeed.com/damon559/MC.JPG ...or explorer. How do I get the harddrive to show In my computer.

Thanks ... Tim

Did you create partitions and format the hard disk?

[HotRod]

Go to Adminstrative Tools.....Computer Management....Storage...Disk Management and format the drive and assign drive letter

hmm- HotRod beat me to it.

If you have data on the drive that you want to keep follow Hotrod's instructions but instead of formatting the drive choose "Import Foreign Drive". This should enable you to access the data.
