I wanted to backup my computer so I purchased an external hard drive - but instead of getting something all set up and ready to go what arrived was an external case and a standard hdd. So I assembled the unit as per the instructions, plugged it into the power and the USB port.
My computer running Windows XP Home recognised a mass storage device. But it doesn't show up as a drive letter so I presume I need to format the drive????
How do I do that? Or if that is not what I should do, what is the next step?
Feeling really dumb today!!!
