I looked at My Computer, it only has my normal C:/ and D:/ drive. The CD, Memory Stick, and Removable disk things are all empty.

Is there a special place that I access it?

When I detach it and re-attach the hard-drive, it makes that "inserted noise" but no pop up bubble.

PS: Someone said Go to "Disc Management" and format . Where do I find DISC MANAGEMENT??

I'm using Windows XP. Thank you
