Ok heres an unusual one for ya. Im trying to fix an old computer for my
mother. She just uses it for surfing the internet and a little word
processing. The hard drive has failed and just so happens I have an old
DVR
with a Nice 40gig Seagate drive. Can I use this drive in the computer?
When I
hook it up Windows recognizes the new hardware, tells me its ready to use,
but it doesnt show up under My Computer so I can format it. Any ideas?
Don't quite understand. The HDD failed in the computer - you replaced it
with this 40GB Seagate, so how can Windows not see it unless you have
installed Windows on it, in which case Windows CAN see it? I'm confused.
More detail please....
