Windows XP professional is installed in my Gateway
laptop. When I right click on My Computer and select
Manage, I Can't find the USB hard drive in the Computer
Management/Disk Management window. (C drive, the DVD
drive and the USB scanner are there.) Under Disk drives
in the Device Manager the USB drive is present
and "working properly". The USB drive is yet to be
formatted.

Hi,

What is the brand and model of your USB harddrive?
Is it using USB1.1 or USB2.0?
Is the USB harddrive came with a driver CD?
You cannot use a USB2.0 device on USB1.1 root hub.
Pls post back with details.

Peter

IBM Deskstar DTLA-307060 which is a 60 gig 7200rpm IDE
drive. (I have two of them in the system I am sending
this message from as Drives C,D,E,and F.)

The USB is a USB 2.0 PC CardBus adapter 32 bit PC Card
inserted in the laptop. This card had a driver disk. I
installed the drivers using an executable on the disk. A
scanner is connected through the PC Card and worked
before I installed the drivers.

The IBM Hard Drive is in a Super Talent External USB 2.0
case. The CD-ROM disk that came with this indicated that
XP didn't need a driver. It had drivers for Windows 98SE.

To Raul,

There is no drive shown except the main drive C. On the
Gateway laptop there is no drive letter to modify except
the main drive C. I don't think I should change that, Do
you? I guess I confused you. The system I am sending
this message from is not the Gateway laptop I'm having
the problem with.
