Hey i just bought a 160 gig external Iomego hdd.? It is connected via firewire 800, and it shows up in my device manager.? The problem is that it doesnt show inside My Computer... Any ideas?

Did you already partition/format the drive?

nope how can i go about doin that? THe only way i know how to format a drive is inside my Computer, and it isnt there...

Can you see the drive in disk management?

hmm i can see it in Device Manager, but i am unframiliar with disk managment (is that the same thing?). Otherwise can u explain to me how to get to disk management

How to get to Disk Management:

• Start ---> Control Panel ----> Administrative Tools---> Computer Management

Scroll down to "Disk Management"

You should see all the hard drives connected to your system, for more information on "Disk Management" check these sites out:
