I've been tring to get windows xp to recognize the
firewire 1394 external drive I hve pluged in. The system
recognizes the pci card and the drive, but how do I get
it to show up under my desktop ? So I could format it and
use it. I see no disk manergewr listed anyware under
programs or harware setup

Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Manage".
Disk management is listed under Storage
Right-click the drive and initialize.
You will then be able to partition and format.

If you want further details then there is info on installing a disk using
disk management here

http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/howto/install_xp_disk_mgmt.html

Although it is on the Seagate site the instructions should work for any
drive.

Hope that helps
Pete
