I have just brought a new 160 GB HD to use as a
second/slave drive but I need to format it as it is not
showing up on my computer. It is being registered as
working correctly in device manager and add new hardware
wizard. Can anyone help?
 
Goto control panel/administrative tools/computer management/disk management
here uyou will be able to partition and format the new harddrive.
