Re: External drive not showing

When I go to Manage my computer, disk drives show under device manager and
the drive shows there. But not under the disk mgmt DiskMgmt.msc.

Jude -

Are you sure? DiskMgmt.msc has two areas - At top it lists
all drives assigned a drive letter & attached. Below, it list all
in two groups - fix & removeable disks (0,1,2,... etc); and
CD-ROM drives (0,1,. etc) - whether they have an assigned
drive letter or not.

I can format drives on any system (mainframe, mini, sun, etc)
and it should be listed at the bottom. Importing foreign disks
and getting Windows to assign a drive letter is another issue.
