Tiger doesnt 'see' my External HDD

Ok, well I just pluged in my external HDD, and I thought Tiger would pop it up, like it does with the CD. But it hasnt done anything of the sort. Is there something I need to do different for it to work?

can you mount it using disk utility?

dunno, This is my first mac, so Im not all to fimiler with it

k, try to go into HD>Applications>Utilities>Disk Utillity and see if your hard drive mounts..

Beat me to it

drive probally needs to be formated. It is probally formated for PC now. As Powerbook g4 said do so in the disk utility.

I have 2 partitions on the disk. 1 is FAT32 and 1 is NTFS. Everytime I try to access the Disk Utility, it doesnt do anything, like it is locked up.

Well I was able to fix the problem. There was a partition problem on the drive, which I just deleted the partition(s) in windows and rebooted OSX, and I am now formating the drive for Mac.

Just want to say Thanks to PowerBookG4 for his help via AIM.

no problem glad I could help..
