You need to run FDISK to allocate partitions on it, and then FORMAT it.

 

um my 31/2 flopy drive aint working is there any way around this

 

do you have one from another comp you could throw in?
can you boot to dos promt with os disk?
do you have a different os?
i've heard bad things about windows me.
is the hd set a slave? if so and you have a os on the other hd you could use a partitioning tool to format the other drive. like partition magic 8.
