WD My Book doesn't show up in My Computer

If yours is like mine it's because someone whipped it without reformatting it. Go to Contorl Panel, System and Maint., Admin Tools, Comp Management, Disk Management. You should see the drive there, but unallocated. Right click on the unallocated portion at the bottom of the screen and choose Simple Volume. Follow the Wisard, choose Quick Format and you've formated your Ex. Hard Drive. It should come up in My Computer now. Congrats!
