2nd HD, How Do I see it?

[Stu55]

I just installed a 2nd hd to my system, my main drive is a 120gb sata with windows and files and stuff, and i just got this WD Sata hd, how do I get windows to recognize it? When i go into computer properties, then hardware, then device manager, it shows up under disk drives but how do I get windows to see it?

disk management.
right click on my computer, go to manage, then disk management, partion the drive and format and all will be good.

How do I partition and format it?

Oooh, I found it myself, thanks for the fast reply, I think this is going to take awhile... 238GB's.

when you select the drive in Disk management, right click, select partion and then it should partition it and you should get the option to format.
