hard drive problem.

okay my hard drive is installed in my comp, It detects it. but for some reason it doesn't show up as an actual drive. when i check the hardware setup it's there. So does anyone know why my it wont show up in "my computer"?

Assuming you're in Windows XP?

Right-click My Computer, then click 'Manage'.

Goto 'Disk Management' and check if your drive is visible there and has been initialised and formated.
