Hi All,

I had a stop over in Hong Kong from New Zealand back to London. I bought myself the following.

Zynet Polar 2.5" external usb/firewire enclosure for a hard disk (see link)
And also a Fujitsu 80gb 2.5" RPM5200 drive. (see link)

The guy in the shop put the drive into the encloser for me. I just got home yesterday and plugged it into my laptop via usb. Windows XP found the drive but it doesn't show up as a drive in the My Computer folder.

Do I need to format the drive? How do I do that?

Also I am now at work and plugged it into my work computer via usb and XP won't detect it at all.

Im not a computer guru like some of you guy but I do know my way around a little.

Thanks if anyone can help.
