If it is setup correctly in bios it should automactily be shown in windows?

Did you look in "My Computer" to see if the drive shows up? When windows started up it also should have said it found a new drive.

In WinXP go to:

Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Storage

From there, you should be able to format the drive. I just did this myself 2 days ago.
