I just purchased a new Omni USB portable hard drive for my computer but 'My Computer'/Windows Explorer does not recognise it. When i connect it into the USB slot, it appears to install, and the 'safely remove hardware' is there, but it does not appear in My Computer.

I have tried to partition it through Disk Management, but it does not appear there either.

I am running Windows XP. The package came with a driver disk but it only works for Win 98 etc.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thanks!
