I have a 200 gig wd sata hdd, but the drive is not shpwing up in My Computer. I have installed all of the drive but it still does not show up, any clue on what i should do.

do you have any other S-ATA drives running now, is this the first one you have installed.
you may need to tell the motherboard to activate the S-ATA controller.

if you have done that already, in windows, click "start" then right-click on "My Computer" and
select "Manage".

under "Storage" on the left select "Disk Management". Is the drive listed there, you may just
need to activate, format and give it a drive letter.

what motherboard? Depending upon that, you may need to install a SATA driver.
