New drive, recognized under device manager but not Computer.

I just popped in my new hard drive and booted up. The computer recognized the hard drive and said that everything was installed. Currently it is not recognized under Computer but it is under the Device Manager, stating that it is working properly.

I moved around my sata cable locations and nothing seemed to work.

you need to format it

open up "computer management" and click on storage and find the new drive and right click then go to format and choose "NTFS Fast"
