Fujitsu 120 GB Hard Drive

Drive does not appear in "My Computer".

posted by wrx2003 on Jan 03, 2008


When this hard drive is connected as a secondary drive, windows XP says "new hardware detected" and it recognizes the drive as a Fujitsu dirve. The drive does not show up in "my computer". The drive is also recognized in the BIOS. It is hooked up to the IDE 2 port on the motherboard. The drive is physically spinning as well. The only problem seems to be that it cannot be accessed through windows.

Let's see if Windows is still seeing the drive.

Click Start

Right click on My Computer

Left click on Manage

Left click on Disk Management

Take a look at the listed drives to see if the new one is there. If so the drive may need to be formatted correctly.

Let me know what you find.
