In my attempt to monopolize the computer recording forum today I have yet another question. ;)
I have an external HD enclosure for audio storage with a new never used, partitioned, formatted etc 120GB drive. Running Win XP Pro the system recognizes the USB device but I can't see the drive to partition and format.
Can anyone tell me the procedure for setting up this drive? I've done this before but I can't for the life of me remember how I did it.
Thanks,
Joe

I finally swapted the drive into my other HD enclosure which usually houses my 80gb drive. Aparently the problem was always with the new enclosure because XP imediatly recognized it and I was able to format the drive without a problem.
I definatly didn't remember jumping through any hoops when I set up the first enclosure.

Did the enclosure that didnt work at first finally recognize the drive that had been formatted and partitioned?

Yeah it's wierd. After I formatted and partitioned with the old enclosure (made by BAFO) I transfered the HD to the new enclosure (made by IO Magic.) It workes fine?? I'm confused but at least its working now.
