I just installed a Promise PCI Controller card and a 120 Gig HD in my P-4
1800 Machine running XP Home. This drive shows up in device manager but not
in "My Computer"!!
Does anyone have any guess why this is happening??
Help!!
Thanks,
J.

Have you initialized partitioned and formatted the drive?

It will not show in explorer or be available for use until you do.
