I bought a new hd for my pc (to use as a second drive)
I also want to use it as a external hd for my laptop so i bought a USB-IDE/SATA adaptor with a power supply.
my problem is the disc doesn't mount, i assume because its not formatted but how the hell do i format it if i can't see it???
It does appear in device manager, when i look at properties and volumes and populate i can see the size but it says not initialised (I assume as its not formatted)
How do i format the disc????
