i recently got a new WD 120gig HDD and installed it properly on the IDE ribbon cable line and have it hooked up with the power cable etc. it recognized it when i first booted and a little icon came up that said something like 'new hard disk drive detected' or something and it shows it under the device manager box. but it doesnt recognize it as a place to save to or anything. when i go my computer and then hard disk drive, it shows my original C drive but not the new one. what gives? thanks for the help.
 
Go to Control Panel. Admin Tools. Comp. Management. Storage. Disk Management. Right Click on the HD and Initialize. Then Right click on the right side to Format.
