Right click My Computer and pick Manage. Under the Storage folder you
should be able to find your drive. Right click on it and you should have a
format option.

it in my new Win XP Pro machine. Device manager see's it but thats all I can
do is look at it in device manager. How do I get it so I can format it and
see it in My Computer. Thanks for your help.
