How do I Format a USB 2.0 Hard Disk

B

Bob May

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.

Under Disk drives in the Device Manager the USB drive
is present and "working properly".

The disk is an IBM Deskstar DTLA-307060 which is a 60
gig 7200rpm IDE.

The 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.

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.
