Assigning Drive Letter to an External Hard Disk  
Most external hard disks come formatted and ready to  
use. When connected, a drive icon will show up in  
Computer/My Computer and you can access the drive.  
However, sometimes Windows will not automatically  
assign a drive letter to a formatted external hard disk  
drive, in this case, the drive icon will not show up in  
Computer/My Computer. If this happens, follow the  
directions below to assign a drive letter to the hard disk.  
You will only need to do this the very first time a hard  
disk is connected. These steps, taken from Windows  
Server 2003, are similar for all Windows versions.  
1.  
Right click Computer or My Computer, click  
Manage, click Disk Management. Look for a  
Healthy disk without a name and drive letter  
assigned to it, see the shaded area in Figure 2.
