New external HDD not showing up.
I just installed my new LaCie D2 external hard drive following the instructions. I plugged in the power, turned on the drive, then connected the firewire cable. The "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the system tray showed up and clicking it shows that it recognizes the drive as it should (it actually shows "LaCie D2" and such).
So the computer seems to be recognizing the drive fine, but I'm not getting an icon to acces it in My Computer. I messed around in Device Manager and it says everything is working properly.
Any ideas as to why this plug-and-play drive isn't showing up? It came with a disk but it's just the instruction manual, and besides, the computer already read the drive properly..
Thanks for any advice guys.
