I have just installed a second hard drive into my pc.
The drive is in Device Manager, but not in My Computer. It is also listed in the bios.
Can someone advise on what I need todo to get the drive working and formatted.
Thanks in advance.

Manuals and disks come w/ hard drives for a reason, i'm sure the manual explains how to partition the drive and probally includes a utility to do so.

It won't show/be accessible till it's fdisked/formatted. Windows knows nothing about the drive till you do that.
I've only ever bought one drive that was already formatted, a Samsung 60 gig. Surprised the hell outa me. -

Misleading though, bought a 120gb hard disc. Formats to 111gb.
9gb due to the 1000 bytes to 1024.
