Storage Solutions HDD Problem (Solved)

[XTerminator]

Hi,

I just got a new Samsung 80Gb hdd. SP0802N.
The problem is, after connecting, it gets detected in the BIOS and was also detected by windows. Now, i do see the hdd in the hardware devices, but it doesnt appear in My Computer.
Any idea what the problem is?

Could it be that i need to format the hdd or something??
OS: Win 2k (SP3)

Processor : P4

Mobo: Equivalent to 845

You will need to format it first. Go to Contol Panel => Administartive services, and search out there.

I dont remember clearly.
