no need to do such thing... if the drive is attached correctly,
i. e. the right jumpers set (block size? LUN? Parity? TRMPWR?)
it will show up on your desktop automatically - otherwise there´s
something wrong with it.

For all intent and purposes it is set up properly, the icon is on the
desktop, it appears in the hinv listing etc. and was working until qite
recently, hours or days at the most. With disc loaded it ==> I/O Error;
same in Confidence Test as well.
