Bios recognizes both hard-drives, windows 7 only recognizes one

[frugalfish]

New system set-up, installed 2 drives using SATA cables. BIOS recognizes both. When i get to windows it only recognizes a single drive. It was my understanding that master/slave was not necessary when using SATA. What am I doing wrong?

Additional information:

Recognized Drive: Solid State Vertex 3 120GB - going to be used for operating system and programs
Bios Recognized, but not Windows 7 - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1T for data and files

Both are connected using 6.0 SATA to an ASUS P8P67 Pro Board

You are correct in that SATA drives do not need the 'master/slave' jumpers.

Format the new drive NTFS and re-boot. Make sure that the SATA port that the new drive is plugged into, is activated.
