Help

I have just installed a new slave drive to my system. Both the BIOS and the Device Manager recognise that it is there but Windows Explorer both seem to think it exists. Can anyone help me

Hi

Right click MY Computer/Manage/disk management
in the left lower pane, hightlight the slave drive and right click, select initialize drive
After that, you can format and partition the slave drive

Have you been to disk manager to partition and format the drive?

Enter "disk management" in Help and Support for complete instructions.
