XP recognizes 250g, but not seen on my computer?

Does the drive need to be formatted to be seen? Did I answere my own
question?

Right click My Computer, Manage, Disk management, it should ask you if
you want to initialise the drive, answer yes, and then partition /
format. (Available from administrative tools too).

You're welcome, btw it makes news threads easier to follow if you type
your reply underneath the text you are replying to instead of the at
