    And you created at least one active partition? I'm not trying to be insulting here, by the way - just trying to understand how it's being recognized at the hardware level and not at the OS level.

    I think longhorn is now Windows Vista. They've changed the name and yes beta of Windows Vista is out and i have it. But have not installed it yet.

    I stopped trusting beta versions of OS since once i installed Windows 2000 Beta, they've a lot of bugs.

    Will do it on some spare machine some day.

    Use the drive setup disk/CD that came with the drive.

    If you don't have one, but know the manufacturer, download one from the website.

    Or:
