Try installing a program called aida32 and click the hard drive tab...it should show the brand and model of teh hard drive.

[twister]

what did you do steal it?

[DDRFREAK1030]

yea i stole it

i said the drive is not installed on my computer and i am not allowed tto open it due to a past mistake

[Virtualbody1234]

What computer is it installed in?

Where did you get the info you posted?

Look in: Start>control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management. You can see the drive size there.

I STOLE IT FROM SCHOOL AND HAVE IT AT HOME!

it is not installed in a computer currently and the one it was in was donated.

i need help finding the manufactuer to see if their site would say what it is or something

[Virtualbody1234]

Ok. It's not in a PC? Then tell us everything written on it.

Btw. To steal from school is wrong. Do you know how little budget they have for these things?

[tesco]

nvm sorry.
You can only find the model/manufacturer of the drive if it's written on the drive somewhere OR if it's in a computer.
You could also look for any serial numbers or something like that to search google for.

What's the purpose in having a drive if you aren't allowed to install it?

[Virtualbody1234]

You need to either use aida32 as i said
-or-
right click my computer>manage>device manager>look for the hard drive in the list and it will ahve teh manufacturer's name next to it (usually).

Ross. Reread the thread. It's not installed in a PC.
