120gig hdd and me?
 
All,

Friend of mine has purchased a Naxtor DiamondMax 120gig ata133 hdd, and he
is running Windows ME 4.9.3000

Now the HDD is recognised in the bios, but Windows just won't see it.

Is this size HDD not compatible with Windows ME?

Any help, would be greatly appreciated.

Sean.

It won't be recognised in ME's Windows Explorer until it's FDISKed and
formatted - is it visible in Device Manager??
