go to your control panel.

There should be something called computer management

this should open up a browser, and you should find disk management.

from there on out find your external hdd, and you probably need to format the hdd to make it accepted.

(assuming you use XP):
start->run->diskmgmt.msc
you should see the drive there...rightclick->activate

so hard to give people advice if you are on a pc that is @ work, so you are locked out of certain locations XD

N3rd - THIS is exactly what hacking is for - getting around restrictions people put in place for you. We don't follow rules (well some), we don't get caught - we hack our way to freedom!
