I own a 2004 Gateway desktop running Win XP multimedia. The external hard drive does not show up as a separate drive in "My Computer" and, of course, doesn't work. I don't know what kind of driver I need to download.

Hi
Well it depends on the installation software. Now if this is a usb external drive , then verify that you have usb 2.0 BEFORE even installing it . Also , verify that the sysboard detect it first and then windows will detect it , for instance if the HD does not appear on the bios then it will NOT appear on windows

You need to check your control panel to see if the installation was successful,if not and you think you have followed the manual instruction or documentation that came with your external drive then log on to the manufacturer website for updated drivers
