I got a new WD SATA HDD. The bios and the device manager will recognize it but it doesn't show up in My Computer.
Anyone know how to resolve this?

in there you should see your harddrive, just format it in NFTS or what ever it is.

I was wondering about partitioning my hard drive without putting my Windows XP disk in the drive, but I think that's the only way, right? I can't find a way to create a new partition under disk management.max wrote:
you probs have to format it
right click my computer ---> manage ---> disk management ---> new partition
well if the HD already has a partition that spans the entire drive you can't create a new one without shrinking the old one. Best way to shrink is though Gparted which should be included in any decent linux live-cdRyan wrote:
