System is

i7 920
Intel X58 mobo
6GB Corsair DDR3 XMS
2 x Raptors in RAID for primary
Western Digital 160 GB SATA backup drive
Plextor DVDR drive
Windows 7 Pro 64bit

So I installed the drive and its seen under the Device Manager under the Drives tab but when I open my computer to get into the drive it is not there. The Raptors are but not the Western Digital.

What gives ? How can I see it ?
 
Go into disk management and assign the drive a letter.

No idea why Win7 is doing this, but I had the same issue.
