I just got a new build and the WD harddrive was being detected by the bios but not during windows install. I tried so many configurations for hours and then finally hooked it up to an older computer which recognized the harddrive immediately. I then created a 100g partition within the drive, and retried it in the new build and it worked.
The question for you is, why would the partition be required for the new build to see it, what would be the optimum partition for the 640g? Also, can you reset the partition after windows is already installed rather than formatting and starting from scratch?
