hi all, i'm in dire need of help, where should i post this?

i've installed a 2nd hand hard drive (for back-ups, etc) and XP won't regognise the device. keeps telling me partition or volume not enabled, restart your computer.

each time i do this i get 'hardware instalation failed'

the BIOS is seeing the drive, i can see the device in the Computer Management, it tells me the device is working properly! but each time i try and assign a drive letter to it i get the error: partition or volume not enabled, restart your computer.

there's more detail to this but i figured on awaiting instructions on where to post before i type too much!!

an responce more than welcome
thanks
stu

where to post it? my suggestion: some other site

i guess the closest forum we have would be General Chat

this is a database site
