Hey I just got an external USB hard drive. It's a SATA hard drive and when I plug it in windows reads it as a cdrom drive for whatever reason. So I can't format it, or access it. The only thing i can think of is that it's not formatted or doesn't have a partition table. Anyone got any suggestions?

Ja, sounds like a driver thing. Might not be compatible with SP2? Had that problem with a USB 2.0 card not too long ago.
