I have a brand new Seagate 80GB IDE drive that I am trying to format and clone. I connected it various ways in the system and each time it is seen at boot screen in the correct postition but when I go to My Computer it is not there. I have changed IDE cables and have used another hard drive to test the cables and power connectors and it is seen in My Computer using the same cable position(s).

Any suggestions? Possibly a bad drive?
