I took the hard drive out of my Omnibook 900 and wanted to put Windows XP on it. I am unable to do this with a cd because I do not have a cd rom drive. I should add that I bought this laptop off of ebay so there is absolutely nothing on the hard drive because it was cleaned off before I bought it.I bought an external enclosure to connect my hard drive to my pc so I can format and use this hard drive. My computer recognizes the hard drive and I can see it in device manager. It is listed as IBM-DBCA-206480. When I click on the properties and open the volumes tab then click on populate nothing comes up. This drive does not show up in computer management at all. Its weird because when I put this hard drive back in the omnibook and look at the bios it shows the hard drive perfectly.
