[G4] Help ...Initializing a HD

[Hector I. Macedo]

Hi John, I did that by physically plugging the HD to my computer (as  
oppossed to using the firewire) and it apparently formatted it, but  
when I try it on the pc, (XP Home system) it only "sees" the firewire  
device but not the HD. Same thinbg if I plugg it with the USB cable.  
firewire or USB

What should I do to find it or where should I look for it? The so  
called "device manager" shows that are working, but I don't find the  
darn thing anyplace ( I was looking for it in "My Computer" but it  
does not show there.
  Any more tips?

Thanks

Then round his hook the chosen fur he winds,
And on the back a speckled feather binds;
So just the colours shine through ev'ry part,
That nature seems to live again in art.
