I am after removing an old hard drive from my system (my D drive) and replaced it with a new one:
Maxtor 80GB ATA133 7200RPM
MX6Y080L0

The jumper settings are correct (slave), and when I power on the machine it is recognised by the bios.

But windows or dos cannot see it.

I have tried Add New Hardware on the control panel, but it finds nothing.

The hard drive did not come with any software or a manual.

I am running Windows 98

What do I have to do to install the hard drive?
I suppose I have to partition it or format it before I can use it. How do I do that?
