- have reconnected several times nothing changes in my computer only hard drive shown is local disk C:
Try re connecting. Then see what comes up in my computer. What ever gets displayed highlight and click manage. On Xp instructions a little different. See if you can assign a drive letter like V. Your computer should recognize and install your hard drive now.
Try going to Disk Management in Administrative Tools and see if it's there. Perhaps you changed something and you need to assign a different drive letter to it. I suggest some letter at the end of the alphabet, like "X" for example.
