Device Manager accepts external drive but My Computer
doesn't assign it an ID
 
The external drive may not be formated. Many do not come formatted, becasue
these could be used on a MAC or a PC or even LINUX. Use the device manager,
disk management console to partition and format. I believe that XP uses
jargon something like "initialize" to mean partition.
