lol... very odd, but I was about to post the exact same question for the exact same drive only I have a Dell Dimension 4700.

P.S. I'm not so hot with computers and have been trying to fix this problem for quite some time so if anyone can give me detailed step by step instructions that would be very greatly appreciated. Thanks!

please any help is very greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance for any help at all.

I've heard that the computer should just recognize the drive and allow me to use it, but for some reason that is not the case. I've been headaching over trying to fix this for about a month now!
