I just installed a 3rd hard drive, a Samsung 500GB Spinpoint F3, to go along with a WD 80GB sata and a Maxtor 160GB IDE. Bios recognizes the drive as the correct modle and so does the devise manager in Windows 7 Pro 64. The problem is that I can't find the drive in my computer:confused:. I can only see my other 2 drives and my optical drives. When I check the properties of the new drive in the devise manager it says it is working properly. Any and all help will be appreciated.
 
Click "start" then type "Disk Management" and press enter. In the window it opens it should have your drive listed. In here you'll need to set up a partition by right clicking the drive and then format it when finished.
