I just installed a wd8gig out of an xbox on my computer.. i used hdmanager to format and istall ntfs partition.. my bios and device manager recognizes it but i can't access or see it in mycomputer.. probably something stupid but i've never installed hdd before. any help would be great.. would it make my system run faster if i was to use the small hdd for xp only?
the hard drive is probably locked. if it is you need to reinstall it in your xbox and unlock it. then take it back out and reformat it a really good tutorial can be found here. http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?s=ce43dfe8a270ec9ae7934ef1bbcc5018&showtopic=244043
Go to start, right click my computer, manage, disk management. There is a list of all drives. If the drive is there it, may need a drive letter assignment. Pulsar
Thanks pulsar thats what i needed.. i've spent 2 weeks trying to figure this out and all i had to do was ask.. i really appreciate it!
No worries, I had the same prob recognising my zip drive. then I found the solution at Afterdawn! Top job. Glad you got it sorted! Pulsar
not really on topic but ...... i knew this was a good place to look i've learnt something else thats twice in one day keep up the good work guys actually more than two things
Nice job pulsar...it took me 2 days to figure that out when I added a HDD...always better to ask first...LOL
