David has just installed a second IDE slave hard drive on the primary controller on his Windows XP system. However, he cannot find the hard drive when he clicks the My Computer icon. What could be the possible cause of this problem?
  1. Hard drive drivers are not loaded.
  2. Hard drive is not partitioned.
  3. The floppy drive is not connected.
  4. Appropriate drivers are not loaded.
Explanation
Answer: A - If the hard drive is not visible after it has been installed, the most likely cause is that the hard drive is not partitioned. You need to partition the drive soon after it has been installed.

Key Takeaway: Many times, individuals who are installing a hard drive for the first time may detect a problem with the hard drive not being accessible after it has been installed. They tend to forget the formatting part of the hard drive installation.
