Is this happening in Explorer?
Can you right click on the drive in explorer and hit properties? If so, does anything come up?
The operating system you're running, and its version
A list of any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any software or hardware that you installed or setup
The only thing added was this hdd, it was recognised by the computer and driver was installed.Quote:

When you boot the laptop, does XP or Vista come upQuote:

Not new, it had 32 films on it. Is it really blank?
I am tempted to format it and try again.
Thanks v much for the advice, really appreciated.
