Please clarify:
you can see it from Device Manager? If this means what I
think it does, then you have XP installed on the hard
drive already. I'm thinking that is not what you meant.
I would download a boot disk file from www.bootdisk.com,
preferrable the Win98 bootdisk, then boot to the floppy
and run fdisk to create partitions. If this does not
work, then you need to download diagnostics from Samsung
or call their tech support.
