No external hard drive (E:)
|
Hi,
I have just got this pc running XP so I am still setting it up. I am trying to use my camera with it but the external e drive is not showing up in my computer.
I have been into computer management/disk management to try and make a new drive but the option to partition or add new drive is not there. It just gives the option of help.
What is present is Partition 1 (c:), CDROM 0 and Disk 0 and a (what I think is) a blank partition which is file system FAT32. Right click on this brings up help also.
I'm a novice at this sort of thing so I hope this makes sense and any help is really appreciated!
Thanks
Mo

You may need to initialise the disk before you can partition it.
In Disk Management, right-click on the left side, where it says Disk 0. Although, if you have something listed as FAT32, that may be your external drive, as they are often formatted that way so you can connect them to a computer using Windows 98.
