HDD not found in 'My Computer'

Comment:
I have just added a new slave drive which is MAXTOR 80 GB. My original MASTER drive is Seagate 20 GB. I am not sure how to get MAXTOR reflected in 'My Computer' now that the fdisk function is no longer available in WIN XP. Please help me.

If it's a new drive:
Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Disk Management....
If the drive shows up there, right click it to partition & format. You may have to right-click, initialize, and then partition and format.
If the drive doesn't show up there at all, check your drive connections and jumper settings on both the master and slave.
