Hello, I've installed a new pre-formatted 2 tb harddrive in my ZT desktop. I can see it in device manager but it doesn't show up in windows explorer. I'd like to use it for a mirror image of by boot drive. Thanx

The drive may need a partition defined. Type diskmgmt.msc in RUN or the search thingy in windows 7. Check to see if the drive has a partition set up, it would have a drive letter. If it says unpartioned space, right click the space and set up a partition on the drive. Hopefully this helps.
