I just bought a new hard drive and the BIOS see it with no problem.
When Windows Explorer is open, it does not assign it a drive letter.
If I go to Disk Management, it shows up as UNALLOCATED.
I believe this means that it is not partitioned or formatted.

If I can't get WinXP to assign a drive letter to it, how can I
partition it or format it ?

Thanks,
Terry

I forgot to mention this harddrive is a secondary, not a master.

You partition and format it in Disk Management, right click on the
unallocted space and you will see.
