To make it show in My Computer pedro that's what you need to do.

Format it through Control Panel, Admin Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management.

Cheers Gar

Pedro,
I was unaware of your knowledge with regard to pc's so I just tried to explain the method in the most simplest terms for you and anyone else who may have been viewing the post.

Glad to hear you have the problem sorted.
