Hi Arian,

Welcome to TSF!

Please do tell us more on what you want to do or what errors or problems you encountered when you tried to use your external drive.

As for your question, I would like to jokingly answer 'Just plug it in..' but that would not be right

, would it?

I just got new external drive for backup and my songs and have my window vista on my laptop tried to connect it and partition it but there is no sign for external drive on my computer or device manager so Iam not sure what else to do.
