Maxtor External HDD suddenly gone?

[ZorK]

I lend my external hdd (maxtor 200gb) to a friend of mine here at the boarding school, and then I got it back, and now when I connect it to my laptop, I cant see it!

I can see it in "Enhedshåndtering" (danish) / unit handling
Control Panel / Administration / Computeradministration and then number 4 under systemtools.

I can see it there, but cant do anything .. cant set a drive name like F:\ or so ..

You need to create partitions on the drive in order to format and use it.
