Hard drive installation.

[Casper312]

So i got my new hard drive installed and im in kinda of a pickle. First off its not being fully detected by windows, meaning in the device manager its just registered as Disk Drive, and its not showing up on my computer. Windows did install its own drivers for it, but im wondering if i have to install a certain ones or if those would do? Its kinda weird cause thats pretty much it thats wrong right now, meaning seatools is testing it as we speak, hd tune sees it fine but i only have the problems stated above.

Thanks for any help.

generally windows 2000 or higher will automatically do its thing with drivers (not familiar with prior OSs). If you see it as a question mark in device manager something weird is going on.

However, normaly all you have to do is right click computer, goto manage, and select disk managment. From there you have to initialize and sometimes format the disk.
