I have a drive that is hidden. It is a standalone drive and not partitioned. How do I bring it up. I could use that to store data.

Suggestions welcome.

JUMPER SETTING AT THE BACK !!!

:arrow: the jumper is always behind the drive (usually 6- 8 copper pins in a rectangle varies form company to company ) there should be a jumper setting manual inscribed on the top of ur drive !!! u can read it and change the setting !!! :D

In the zone
i can help on jumper suff. take out ur hard disk. take it out from cabinet and see the back. u can find few smaaaall pins. read the jumper postion figure on the hard drive sticker on top n u ca figure the right thing out.
ur secondary drive has to be set as "slave" whose corres. jumper position can be found on sticker itself.
reading the sticker n taking hard disk out to see things urself can help u a lot.
good lucks ;)

i believe rather than the whole HDD just a partition is hidden..
and dude if it is because of bad sectors don't mess with it..
still if you use win xp right click on "My Computer"
click manage
choose removable drive management
