Can't format a drive

I got a new SATA drive and controller card tonight. I know the card is working fine and installed, and the drive is, physically, too. I went ahead and started to put xp on the new drive, and then realzied i wasnt quite ready to, so i quit the installation and booted off my old drive again. Now I cant start installation again until i format, but I can't see the drive in my computer, so I can't right click it. It shows up in device manager fine.
I went to westerdigital.com and downloaded their newest diagnostic tool, but it didn't have any options to help me. The i went to administrative tools/computermanagment/storage/local, but i get an error saying it can't start the logical device manager. Sooo, i can't use a boot disk, because the drive doesn't have a letter, yet i NEED to format it, because I have to boot off this drive.

It's a Western Digital SATA raptor, and I'm running windows xp sp1 on a kt3 ultra 2, with updated Bios.

recap: I need an alternate method to format a hard drive that doesn't have a letter yet, or a way to make the computer recognioze the drive as say, drive H, so i can use a boot disk.

TIA

(sorry for typos I'm in a hurry and don't have time to check)

someone on amdmb.com forums helped me. I had another service disabled that logical disk manager depended on.

Computer Management under Administrative Tools. Disk Management (under Storage) will let you view attached devices and format them.

... Nevermind then.
