Or, there are programs such as CyberPatrol which allow you to overtly or discreetly lock-down features of of the computer and Internet completely. With this in mind you may like to look into OpenDNS, which allows you to monitor and filter Internet access at the point of the router. This said, because your question involves what is a family, you may not want to give us anymore information. if it sata and a new mb check that al the sata ports are turned on in the bios. (an occasional, little known, bug) But, all of this is speculation until you are able to provide more information. if it an older ide drive and the only one on the cable (it have a 40 pin data cable) make sure the jumpers are set to master. It may also be a different partition, or USB Pendrive that may be inaccessible due to its having a drive letter higher than the Dise Drive. The apparently 'new drive' may be a mounted image of Microsoft Office for the purpose of installing it without the use of a Disc. My first impressions from the information you have given us is that, whatever you have set up software-wise isn't able to do its job at the moment. May I suggest, please, that you start a new thread (post) and summarise what you want to monitor, along with the issue you have noticed with the previously unnoticed 'drive'.

Do each of your children have their own accounts on the computer? (individual login and password, etc) Depending on the type of software you are using, you may find that you are just monitoring your own account.
