Hi,
My system is as follows: IBM 8307 Netvista Pentium 4, 768MB Ram; 40GB hard
drive
I have tried to install a 120GB hard drive (Western Digital) as a slave
drive, BIOS, device mgr. both recognize the new HD. I went to disk management
and it is listed there as unallocated, but when i right-click to format or
create partition those options do not seem to be available. I checked that I
have the latest bios version.
Also, I tried a 20GB Firefly external USB and that is not visible in "my
computer" either, as you would expect when the USB device is connected.
Please help. I have browsed the forum and have seen some similar problems,
most are solved by formatting or partitioning, but the system does not give
me the option.
Thanks for your time.
