was bored so decided to do a low level format on a dead harddrive
did it succesfully
now on start up it see's it (slave drive) bios sees it - and device manager sees it
my computer folder dont see it, and neither does the 'admin tools' in control panel
how do i get the rest of the pc to see it so i can use it?
running windows 2000 pro
cheers

Yes, re-reading the original post, you need to create a partition and then format it, for you to see it in My Computer...
