Hi, strange one this.

Right I have 2 HD's, one a raptor 74gb which is fine, has my OS (Xp Pro) on etc.

Then I have a 2nd Hard Drive (Samsung Spinpoint 250GB) for Music, videos etc.

okay, the samsung one has been RMA and I received the replacement this morning. Just installed it (exactly the same) Sata. It is picked up in Bios, picked up in Disk Management, Everest etc.

But How do I use it. I cannot access it, It does not show up in My Computer. Im sure when I had the 1st one 9 months ago I just installed it and it worked fine.

How do I get it to show up in My computer and to use it. Do I have to do something in Disk Management ?

If I go into Disk Management.
It says

Disk 1
Basic
232.88 GB
Online
Unallocated....


thank you
