How to format new hard drive
Hi,
I just added a 15 Gig drive to my raid controller. It is recognized in device manager but not Windows Explorer. I imagine because I haven’t formatted it. How do I do that in XP? When I set up XP it formatted my hard drive to NTFS. How do you format a newly installed hard drive, do you have to boot up with the XP CD? TIA

You format the new hard drive from Disk Management. Go to Start> Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Computer Management> Disk Management> Right click on the new hard drive letter and select Format.

Thanks Cricket that did the trick! I was right there but didn't figure it out.
