Okay. So I bought an 200GB external hard drive for my computer, I already had an 80GB one but it wasn't big enough so I sold it to my dad. When I went to hook up my new drive it said all the things like new hardware found and installing drivers and such, like it did for when I hooked up my 80GB one, but when I went into my computer the Icon wasn't there for the drive. When I go to the device manager and look under dick drives it is there as a USB mass storage device or something along those lines, and when I check the properties it says "this device is working properly." Anyways, I am basically out of any idead on what to do to fix this problem, so if anyone can help me out here I would be extremely thankfull.

Go to Disk Management in the Administrative tools and format the drive and give it a drive letter. Remember to keep it as a basic disk.

Cheers
