Hard Drive recognition problem

I had an old drive from my previous win 98 machine so I wiped it and put 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.

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.
