Problematic external HD

[jancukon]

Hi,

Does anyone know why there is no drive letter appear in "my computer" tab when I plugged an external HDD into my desktop??

I just bought this HD with its external case. I partitioned the drive in my laptop in NTFS(or something like that format

I don't understand why the drive letter won't appear in my desktop. I checked the device manager and they're not there. But the usb port gives me a message that something is plugged in.

Please help me. I'm a newbie and have no idea what to do.
Thanks b4

Can it be seen in Disk Management console (type <b>diskmgmt.msc</b> at <b>Run</b> command)? If it does, you can assign a drive letter from there.

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

You can find "disk management" if you right click on "my computer" and scroll down to "manage".

yes, i tried disk management before. The strange thing is that they don't read any exsistence of other drive except my old drives (c: and e, but the usb read an external hd's been connected.
I don't understand with all of this. Now I'm thinking is this because I partitioned my master (C drive into two partitions (C: and E?? But I'm sure it shouldn't be like that...
