Can the disk viewed in disk management?

Right Click 'My Computer'-->Manage-->storage-->Disk Management

Disk 0 usually for windos partition (your 80GB HD)
If Disk 1 (your TB HDD) show unallocated, you need to format it to NTFS.

Right Click and select 'Format'.
!!!!Make sure it is your TB HDD!!!!!!!

the power regulator inside the external enclosure is probably dead the drive itself may still be intact,you can remove the dribe from the enclosure and run it as an internal drive if you have any free ports or you can buy a new enclosure for it and it should run fine.

This is part of the A31 specification.

If I recall right this HDD is a PATA (IDE) type. As for the Jumpers please check the following link. The jumper should be as Slave drive.

Hello douglasc, You will have to repartition your hard drive. I would suggest the use of an application called partition magic. It will allow you to partition your hard drive even though the OS is present on the system. It does this by first defragmenting your hard drive and the putting the unused sectors together and the used sectors together this way it makes the division of the sections easier. Now once the hard drive is defragmented it allows you to section the drive into different logical hard drives. Follow the instructions from the documentation and you will have a successful repartitioning. Thank you, Shuttle83
