    Hi,

I'm having a problem installing a new samsung hard drive and external caddy 
I've fitted the disk in to the caddy, and connected it to the pc via usb.  
Although I received the sound indicating a new device has been detected, the 
drive isn't showing up under my computer.

It does however appear under disk management, as disk1 basic rather than having 
a drive letter assigned to it.

Upon reading up a little, I gather the drive must be initialised, however I'm 
unable to select it in order to do this.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim.
