You need to partition it. The easiest way is to boot to a win98 startup disk, choose boot with nocd. at the a: prompt, type "fdisk" and enter. Choose option 5, switch current fixed disk. than select the new (unpartitioned) drive, usually drive 2. then pick create partition, primary partion and follow the rest of the instructions. Remove the floppy, boot to windows. Now you should see the drive and can format it by right clicking and choosing "format".
