[SOLVED] Second Hard Drive Help

AdamRav · 01-07-2008, 03:10 PM

I have a Western Digital 500GB Hard Drive installed on my computer now. I just bought a Wester Digital Raptor 74GB hard drive to put my games on. I unplugged my power cable and installed the drive with a SATA cable like I was supposed too. But when I turn on my computer the new drive dose not show up when I go too My Computer but it dose show up in my Device Manager.

Did I do something wrong? How do I get the new drive to show up in My Comptuer?

Thanks in Advance!
