Bought A New Hd And Computer Does Not See It

[shanenin]

Your welcome, Glad it is working :-)

in the past ive found this problem if the drive hasent been

formated

if you havent a floppy drive you can get an external one

can you format the drive on another compt

normally this needs to be done on the compt you are using the drive on

or a compt with similiar components

the other solution is

have you faciality for two hdds

one with an operating sys windows

set the new drive as the slave

and the one with the sys as the master

open the bios

and make the compt recognise the drives

once that is done

open you operating sys

go to administrating tools compt management

disk management

and format that new drive in there

i feel this is windows answer to no floppy

drive

not sur if this will helpbut it is worth a try
