Bob,

The drive shows up in Device Manager, but no new drive letter in Windows
Explorer.

One possible problem could be that the drive isn't formatted.

Another could be that the drive is actually formatted, but your OS does not
recognise the used method. In that case you should be able to simply
(re-partition and) re-format the drive.

Any ideas if this drive really will work with Win2000?

Although I cannot say for sure, as the drive (hardware) is recognised by
your OS (you did not mention any "need a driver" problem) it stands to
reason it will be able to use it.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

Buffalo 3T Ext Drive

I bought one of these today. Practically no documentation. Manual is (1)
set it on the desk, (2) plug in the USB cable, (3) plug in the power.
That's all.

I have Win2000 and the guy at the store said this one will work. The drive
shows up in Device Manager, but no new drive letter in Windows Explorer.

Any ideas if this drive really will work with Win2000?

Thanks.
